The Villas at Squaw Peak Condominium

What The Villas at Squaw Peak Condominium's governing documents say

The Villas At Squaw Peak Condominium in Phoenix, Arizona is a 12-unit condominium community where you own your individual unit (with party walls bordering neighbors) and share ownership of common elements. The declaration binds all unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your residential dwelling, including fixtures and lines that serve only your unit. The association maintains the common elements (landscaping, recreational areas, parking, private drives) and also paints exterior stucco and garage doors, replaces roofs, and maintains front-yard landscaping. You maintain all other parts of your unit and the limited common elements allocated to it (e.g., utility lines serving only your unit). Party walls between units are shared; adjoining owners split repair costs.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, last at least 30 days, and include a provision that the lease is subject to the condominium documents. You must provide the association with a signed copy and lessee details at least 10 days before the lease starts. You are liable for any rule violations by your tenant or their guests. Timesharing (occupancy for 30 consecutive days or less) is prohibited.
• Architectural review: Most exterior modifications—including changes to windows, doors, paint, landscaping, or structural work—require prior written approval from the board (or an architectural committee). The board can deny a request based purely on aesthetics. Interior non-structural changes do not need approval. Fees may apply.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles may only be parked inside your enclosed garage, except for temporary loading/unloading (max 4 consecutive hours, 6 hours per day). Garage doors must stay closed when not entering/exiting. No vehicle repair, storage of inoperable vehicles (covered or unmoved for 3+ weeks), or parking on private drives or common areas is allowed. Violators may be towed at their expense.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common house pets are allowed, kept solely as domestic pets within your unit. Dogs must be leashed (max 6 feet) outside, and you must immediately remove pet droppings from common elements. The board can further restrict pet size or number via rules, and may grandfather existing pets.
• Home businesses: You may conduct a business activity inside your unit only if it is not detectable from outside (sight, sound, smell), complies with zoning, generates only occasional visitors, employs at most one non-resident worker, and does not create nuisance or parking issues. Leasing your unit is not considered a business.
• Assessments & fees: Each of the 12 units pays an equal share of common expenses (1/12 each). The association may also levy special assessments and enforcement assessments. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit. A transfer fee may apply when you sell.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration of condominium; it does not contain the current budget, actual assessment amounts, association bylaws, or rules and regulations. Those are separate documents. The text is partially OCR-scrambled, so some numbers (e.g., the lease minimum term of 30 days) and definitions may be approximate.
