Townes at Park Place

What Townes at Park Place's governing documents say

Townes at Park Place is a new build-to-rent community in Wilmington, NC, designed primarily for rental occupancy. The governing documents create a homeowners association (HOA) that binds all owners, residents, lessees, and occupants. The developer retains broad control until turnover, and the community is intended for investors and build-to-rent operators, with many exemptions for them.

• Community type & developer control: This is a build-to-rent community. The Declarant (developer) has unilateral power to amend the governing documents, annex or withdraw land, and change common areas before the Community Completion Date. Owners and residents have no vested rights.
• Who is bound: All owners, residents, lessees, occupants, guests, and invitees must comply. Leases must include a provision binding lessees to the governing documents. Build-to-rent operators and their residents are subject to the rules unless the Declarant waives them.
• Rental restrictions & exemptions: There are no minimum lease terms or caps on rentals for the Declarant, builders, or build-to-rent operators. Other owners are subject to rental restrictions (not specified in this excerpt). The Declarant may waive all rental restrictions for affiliated entities.
• Voting & membership: Each lot gets one vote for Class A members (owners, builders, build-to-rent operators). The Declarant is a Class B member with 9 votes per lot (or 14 per acre before platting) until turnover, after which it gets 1 vote per lot. Turnover occurs when 90% of lots are sold, or earlier at Declarant's election.
• Common areas & amenities: Common areas may include open space, buffers, entrance features, and signage, but the Declarant is not obligated to build any. The Declarant can change or remove common areas at any time before the Community Completion Date. Owners assume all risk when using common areas.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains common areas. Owners and residents are responsible for upkeep of concrete abutting areas (sidewalks, walkways, driveway aprons) on or adjacent to their lot, including wear-and-tear repairs. Full replacement of those areas is the owner's responsibility (for owners) or the Declarant/build-to-rent operator's (for residents).
• Amendment process: Before turnover, the Declarant can amend the governing documents unilaterally. After turnover, amendments require 67% of voting interests present at a meeting with 10% quorum. No amendment can affect Declarant or builder rights without their consent.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify pet restrictions, parking rules, architectural standards, or specific use restrictions for lots. Those may be in other governing documents (e.g., Rules and Regulations, Community Standards) not included here.
