condominium units in the condominium project and the basis upon
which the usage of the condominium unit or condominium units may be
shared from time to time by the joint or common owners thereof.

provided in the master deed. An amendment to the bylaws of any
condominium project shall not eliminate the mandatory provisions
required by section 54. An amendment shall be inoperative until
