Marian Lee Estates

What Marian Lee Estates's governing documents say

Marian Lee Estates is a condominium community in Glendale, AZ, established in 1972. The governing document is the original Declaration of Horizontal Property Regime, which defines unit ownership, common areas, and the Association (Marian Lee Estates Association). It applies to unit owners and residents, outlining rights and obligations for the 120-unit project developed in two phases.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior decorated surfaces of your apartment unit (walls, floors, ceilings) and an undivided interest in the common areas and facilities (land, roofs, main walls, private drives, community facilities, etc.). The association maintains common elements and carries blanket insurance. Party walls (walls between units) are co-owned and subject to shared repair rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases for less than 30 days (transient or hotel use) are prohibited. Rentals that provide customary hotel services are also banned. Otherwise, owners may lease units subject to the declaration and association bylaws.
• Assessments & liens: Each unit pays a proportionate share of common expenses (based on 1/120 undivided interest, except during Phase 1 when it's 1/52). Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit, prior only to tax liens and first mortgages. The association can foreclose or sue for unpaid sums.
• Insurance: The association must maintain blanket property insurance (fire, extended coverage, liability) sufficient to cover full replacement cost. Premiums are a common expense held in a separate escrow account. Unit owners may also get individual policies.
• Party walls: Walls on the dividing line between units are party walls. If one owner damages a party wall, that owner must repair at their own cost. If damage is from other causes, both adjoining owners share repair costs equally. Disputes go to arbitration.
• Use restrictions: Units must be used only as private dwellings. No partition of common areas is allowed. Owners cannot exempt themselves from assessments by waiving use or abandoning their unit.
