Bella Lago Condominiums, Block I

What Bella Lago Condominiums, Block I's governing documents say

This is the full condominium declaration for Bella Lago Condominiums, Block I, in Phoenix, AZ. It's a condo community where you own your unit and share ownership of the common elements with other unit owners. The rules here bind all unit owners and their tenants.

• Residential use only: Each unit and limited common element must be used exclusively as a single-family residence. No business, profession, or trade is allowed on the premises, though you can keep a personal office or handle business calls from your unit.
• Pets: Up to two common household pets are allowed per unit without board approval. Additional pets require board approval. No commercial breeding, and pets must be leashed outside your unit. The board decides if an animal qualifies as a common household pet.
• Leasing & rentals: You may rent your entire unit but not just a portion. All leases must be in writing and state that the lease is subject to this declaration and the association's rules. Subleasing and assignments are prohibited. You must provide the association with lease dates, tenant names, your contact info, and an emergency contact at least 10 days before the lease starts. You are liable for any rule violations by your tenant or their guests.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or similar vehicles may be parked or stored on the property at any time. Inoperable vehicles are banned. Repairs beyond emergencies are not allowed. Vehicles must be parked only in assigned garages, driveways, or designated common-area spaces.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural changes inside your unit do not need board approval, but you are responsible for any resulting damage to other units or common elements. Any structural change or any alteration visible from the exterior requires prior written board approval (and an engineer's certification for structural work). No one may alter common elements without board approval.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are divided equally among all units (each unit's share is 2.5641%). Special assessments for capital improvements require approval by two‑thirds of the voting unit owners. You must pay a working capital fund equal to two months' assessment when you buy from the declarant, and a transfer fee set by the board when you sell. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and late fees, and the association can foreclose its lien.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains all common elements (including roofs, exteriors, and shared systems). As a unit owner, you are responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing everything inside your unit (including floors, walls, fixtures that serve only your unit), as well as any limited common elements allocated to you (such as a patio or garage).
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not include any age restriction (55+), income or rent limits, affordable housing requirements, or specific information about amenities (pool, clubhouse, etc.). It also does not address specific pet breeds, weight limits, or security deposits.
