P.R. Laws tit. 31, § 1291
The provisions in this chapter apply exclusively to the set of apartments and common elements whose single owner (or all owners, if there are more than one) expressly states, in a public title, the desire to submit the referenced property to the horizontal property regime set forth in this chapter, and inscribes said title in the Registry of the Property.
The horizontal property regime may be set forth over real estate located on land belonging to another person, if the owner of the land grants the lease, usufruct, or surface rights perpetually to the builder or the condominium tenant.
The title that sets forth the horizontal property regime shall clearly and precisely state the purpose and use of all areas comprised by the property, and, unless otherwise authorized by this chapter, once said purpose and use have been established, they can only be changed by means of the unanimous consent of the owners.
