Tropical Winds

What Tropical Winds's governing documents say

Tropical Winds is a condominium community in Wilmington, NC — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements, which the association maintains and insures, funded by assessments based on your unit's undivided interest in the common areas. The declaration establishes a 21-unit building with amenities including a swimming pool, parking, and storage, and reserves the developer's right to add future phases.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (including non-load-bearing walls, interior finishes, appliances, and mechanical systems within the unit). You must maintain your unit's interior, including all surfaces, appliances, and equipment, and are responsible for damage caused by your failure to maintain. The association maintains all common areas (building structure, roofs, exterior walls, utility lines, parking, pool, etc.) and carries master insurance on the building and common property.
• Use restrictions: Units are restricted to single-family residential use by the owner, their immediate family, guests, invitees, and lessees. No immoral, improper, offensive, or unlawful use is allowed, and nothing may increase insurance rates, create nuisances, or interfere with other owners' peaceful enjoyment.
• Structural & exterior alterations: No structural modifications or exterior changes (including painting, antennae, or objects protruding through walls/roof) may be made without the association's written consent. No fences, planting, or changes to common areas are allowed without approval.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted (no minimum term stated in this excerpt), but all use must comply with the single-family residential restriction and association rules.
• Pets: No specific pet restrictions are mentioned in this excerpt; however, the association may adopt rules and regulations governing pets.
• Parking & vehicles: The association has the exclusive right to make permanent and temporary assignments of parking spaces and to establish regulations concerning their use.
• Insurance: The association must insure all buildings and improvements for replacement value (excluding foundation) against fire and extended coverage, plus public liability insurance. Unit owners may obtain their own insurance for their unit and personal property, and all policies must include a waiver of subrogation.
• Developer rights & future phases: The developer reserves the right to add future phases until March 1, 1985, by recording supplements, and may adjust unit owners' common-interest percentages, assessments, and voting rights accordingly without owner consent. The developer also retains the right to use unsold units as sales offices.
