When do you need the consent of the community of owners for a change of use?

If a property is divided into condominiums according to the provisions of the Condominium Act (Wohnungseigentumsgesetz, WEG), the following applies: In most cases, the consent of the community of owners must be obtained for the change of use. When this is the case, i.e. whether the change of use requires (internal) consent, can be assessed on the basis of the so-called declaration of division.
