	Conversion (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In law, conversion is a tort that deals with the wrongful interference with goods.
		Remedy for conversion is usually in the form of damages equal to the value of the chattel.
		Conversion overlaps with the tort of trespass to chattels: the primary difference between the two is that trespass requires only an inteference with the plaintiff's possession.

	Cooperative and Condominium Conversion Handbook
		If the requirements of the federal tax laws are met, apartment buyers may be able to deduct the portion of their maintenance charges used to pay interest on the building's mortgage and the real estate taxes paid by the cooperative corporation.
		Senior citizens in New York City; in the Nassau, Rockland and Westchester County municipalities that have adopted the conversion laws; and in municipalities elsewhere in the state that have adopted the senior citizen and disabled tenant protection law, are protected against eviction if they choose not to purchase their apartments.
		Because the law specifies that the conversion plan may only be declared effective after a specified percentage of the tenants of occupied apartments have agreed to purchase, the owner of a building who contemplates submitting a plan for its conversion to co-op or condo ownership might have some incentive to discourage renting vacant apartments.
