Litchfield Gardens Association

What Litchfield Gardens Association's governing documents say

Litchfield Gardens is a condominium community in Goodyear, AZ. Each unit owner has a 1/48th undivided interest in the common elements. The declaration restricts use to single-family residential, prohibits business activities, and sets rules for leasing, pets, parking, and maintenance. An association (Litchfield Gardens Association) manages common expenses and enforces rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your apartment unit, including interior surfaces of walls, floors, and ceilings. The association maintains all exterior walls, load-bearing structures, roof, common elements (including laundry room and parking surfaces), and utility lines serving more than one unit. You must maintain, repair, and replace everything else inside your unit.
• Leasing & rentals: Entire apartments may be rented, but only to a lessee and their family. No rooms may be rented separately, and no transient tenants are allowed. There is no stated minimum lease term in this document.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets may be kept, provided they are not raised, bred, or maintained for commercial purposes. No animals, livestock, or poultry are otherwise allowed.
• Parking & vehicles: Boats and campers mounted on trucks must be kept covered and parked only in designated parking spaces. Trailers and trucks in excess of 3/4 ton are completely prohibited from parking or standing anywhere within the property. No street parking on common elements.
• Use restrictions: Each apartment unit may be occupied only by a single family and used as a residence. No business activities, nuisances, or unlawful uses are allowed. No outside visible antennas, clotheslines, or signs (except one 5 sq ft 'For Rent' or 'For Sale' sign per apartment).
• Assessments & fees: Each unit pays 1/48th of the annual budgeted common expenses plus reserves. The association sets and may adjust assessments. Payments are due monthly; if not paid within 10 days, a late charge and 8% interest apply. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit, which can be foreclosed.
• Insurance: The association carries master casualty and liability insurance on the buildings and common elements (minimum $500,000 liability). Owners are responsible for their own personal property insurance and additional liability coverage. All insurance proceeds for property damage are held by the association for rebuilding.
