Casa Contenta Homeowners Association

What Casa Contenta Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Casa Contenta is a condominium community in San Diego, CA — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the common areas, which the association maintains and insures. Owners pay monthly regular assessments and may be subject to special assessments for capital improvements or emergencies. This document is the full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions that govern all unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors) and must maintain them, including plumbing, electrical, and heating systems within your unit. The association maintains the common areas, exterior painting, landscaping, and carries master insurance.
• Use & occupancy: Units may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No short-term rentals: leases must be in writing and for at least six months.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and usual household pets are allowed only as permitted by rules adopted by the board of directors. No other animals, livestock, or birds may be kept on the property.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking spaces are exclusive-use areas assigned to each unit by deed. No boats, trucks, trailers, campers, or recreational vehicles may be used as living quarters on the property.
• Exterior alterations & signs: No structural alterations, exterior modifications, fences, awnings, antennas, flagpoles, or clotheslines are allowed without prior written board approval. Signs are limited to one 'for rent' or 'for sale' sign in a location designated by the association.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are paid monthly and allocated equally among units (1/10 interest). Special assessments exceeding 5% of the budgeted gross expenses require 51% owner approval. Delinquent assessments accrue a $15 late charge and 10% annual interest, and may become a lien on the unit.
• Insurance: The association carries master casualty, liability, and worker's compensation insurance covering the common areas. Owners may insure their own unit's contents and carry excess liability coverage, but may not separately insure the unit or common area against covered perils.
• Rules enforcement & penalties: The association may suspend voting rights or common-area privileges, or impose monetary penalties, after 15 days' written notice and an opportunity for a hearing. Fines cannot become a lien enforceable by sale, except for delinquent assessments and related collection costs.
