What South Heights Condominium Association Inc's governing documents say

South Heights Condominium is a traditional condominium community in Raleigh, NC with 28 units in 8 buildings (with developer rights to build up to 24 more units on adjacent land). You own the interior of your unit and the association maintains the common elements, funded by equal-share monthly assessments from all unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own the space inside your unit from the ceiling wallboard down to the concrete slab and within the interior wall surfaces. The association maintains the building structure, roofs, exterior, common grounds, parking areas, and utilities (master-metered water/sewer). You are responsible for all interior repairs, cleaning, and upkeep as well as any limited common elements serving your unit (e.g., balcony, porch, roof deck, designated parking).
• Leasing & rentals: There is no minimum lease term stated for standard rentals, but the board may permit short-term rentals (minimum 1 day) if owners register and comply with rules, insurance, and tax requirements. No single entity (other than the developer) may own more than 20% of all units, and no more than 50% of units may be leased at any time if the community is financed as investment property.
• Pets: You may keep up to 3 dogs and 3 cats (fish excluded) per unit. Pets must be leashed on common elements, cleaned up after, and not cause a nuisance. The association can require removal of a pet after two violations in any 12-month period.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking is allowed only in your unit's garage or designated space (if any). No boats, RVs, trailers, or campers may be stored on the property. Parking fines escalate: $50 (first offense), $75 (second), $100 (three or more) in a 12-month period; the association may tow violators.
• Architectural review: Any exterior addition, change, or alteration (including landscaping, fences, and structures) requires prior written approval from the association, which can decide based solely on aesthetics. Satellite dishes and exterior antennas are generally prohibited on roofs or exterior surfaces.
• Signs & flags: No exterior signs or advertising are allowed except for real estate marketing signs and one U.S. flag (max 3×5 feet, not extending over balcony railings). Decorative flags require association approval.
• Balconies & roof decks: Balconies, terraces, and roof decks must be kept clean and not used for storage or drying laundry. Firepits and grills are prohibited on balconies; grills (but not firepits) are allowed on roof decks. No hot tubs or pools on balconies/rooftops.
• Developer rights & future phases: The developer retains the right to build up to 8 additional buildings (24 more units) on adjacent land and to reconfigure common elements, for up to 15 years after recording. During this period, the developer controls the board and has special easements for construction, sales offices, and model units.
