Hearthridge Place Condominiums

What Hearthridge Place Condominiums's governing documents say

Hearthridge Place Condominiums is a small condominium community in Raleigh, NC, with four units (913A–D Hearthridge Court). Each unit is a two-story, two-bedroom townhome-style condominium with roughly 992 square feet of heated space plus a deck, storage room, and two designated parking spaces. Unit owners have an equal 25% undivided interest in the common property and are automatically members of the Hearthridge Place Homeowners Association, Inc., which manages the common areas and enforces the rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (including interior wall, ceiling, and floor surfaces; interior fixtures and appliances; and the decorative surface of doors and window frames). The unit owner is responsible for all maintenance and repairs inside, including HVAC, appliances, plumbing fixtures, wiring, and interior painting. The association maintains the common property (building structure, exterior, common utilities, and limited common areas like storage rooms and balconies/patios).
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, cover the entire unit (no room-by-room rentals), and contain a provision that the lease is subject to this declaration — a tenant's failure to comply is a lease default. There is no minimum lease term stated in this excerpt, but no other restriction on the owner's right to lease is mentioned.
• Architectural review: No structural modifications, exterior changes (painting, antennas, storm windows/doors, awnings, fences, planting) may be made without prior written approval from the association's Board of Directors. The board will consider harmony with existing improvements.
• Assessments & fees: Assessments are levied per unit based on the 25% common-interest share, payable in monthly installments as set by the board. The board adopts an annual budget, and any increase greater than the Consumer Price Index requires a majority vote of owners. Delinquent assessments bear interest at the highest legal rate, and the association has a lien on the unit that may be foreclosed.
• Insurance: The association carries casualty and liability insurance on the buildings and common property, paid as a common expense. Each unit owner must carry personal liability insurance of at least $100,000 per occurrence. The association also carries fidelity bonds for directors, officers, and anyone handling association funds.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit is provided parking for at least two automobiles. The association may assign parking spaces and set regulations consistent with the Raleigh City Code.
• Nuisances & lawful use: Units and common property must be used for lawful, residential purposes only. No activity that increases insurance rates, creates unreasonable noise, or constitutes a nuisance to other owners is permitted.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the exact amount of monthly assessments, pet rules, age restrictions, or specific procedures for requesting architectural approval beyond requiring written consent. It also does not include the full by-laws or rules and regulations; those are incorporated by reference to separate documents.
