Chapter 42 - Creation, Alteration and Termination of Cooperatives
Section 4206 - Leasehold cooperatives

(a) Recording lease and contents of declaration.--Any lease the expiration or termination of which may terminate the cooperative or reduce its size shall be recorded in the same county or counties where the declaration is recorded. The declaration for any leasehold cooperative shall state in addition to the applicable provisions of section 4205 (relating to contents of declaration):
(1) The recording data for the lease.
(2) The date on which the lease is scheduled to expire.
(3) A legally sufficient description of the real estate subject to the lease.
(4) Any rights of the proprietary lessees to redeem the reversion and the manner whereby those rights may be exercised or a statement that they do not have such rights.
(5) Any rights of the proprietary lessees to remove any improvements within a reasonable time after the expiration or termination of the lease or a statement that they do not have those rights.
(6) Any rights of the proprietary lessees to renew the lease and the conditions of any renewal or a statement that they do not have those rights.
(b) Merger of leasehold and fee simple interests.--Acquisition of the leasehold interest of any proprietary lessee by the owner of fee simple title to the real estate that is subject to a lease, the expiration or termination of which may limit the cooperative or reduce its size, does not merge the leasehold and fee simple interests unless such owner also acquires the leasehold interests of all proprietary lessees in the leasehold cooperative and all security interests in all such proprietary leases.
(c) Reallocation of interests if number of units reduced.--If the expiration or termination of a lease decreases the number of units in a cooperative, the allocated interests shall be reallocated in accordance with section 4107(a) (relating to eminent domain) as though those units had been taken by eminent domain. Reallocations shall be confirmed by an amendment to the declaration prepared, executed and recorded by the association.
