Article 1125

An apartment owner may, without the consent of the other apartment owners, alter a portion intended to be used by him as a separate unit, provided that the alterations do not cause harm to another portion. He becomes sole owner of anything removed on the occasion of a permissible alteration.

He must without delay notify the association of owners of any alteration. Where the alteration results in a modification of the insurance premium, he and his successors must bear the difference.

When the value of the property involved in the division proves, upon termination of the division, to have been diminished as a result of an alteration, even though permissible, this fact will be imputed in the division of the co-ownership to the person who has made the alteration or to his successor.

The by-laws may derogate from this article and may, for the application of sub-Article (2), assimilate modifications in the way of use to alterations.
