Ben Jo Estates

What Ben Jo Estates's governing documents say

This document places affordable housing and maintenance restrictions on the owner of 2439 East Mobile Lane in the Ben Jo Estates subdivision in Phoenix, AZ. It is not a typical homeowner association (HOA) rulebook; rather, it is a covenant running with the land that requires the owner to rent to income-qualified households at specified income limits and to maintain the property to certain standards. The City of Phoenix is the beneficiary and can enforce these covenants.

• Affordability & income limits: The owner must rent the property to households whose income does not exceed 80% of the median income for Phoenix as determined by HUD. Limits vary by family size (e.g., 1-person: $27,050/year; 4-person: $38,650/year; see document for full schedule).
• Affordability period: The income targeting requirement lasts for 1 year from the date a certificate of completion is issued for the property under the Rental Rehabilitation Agreement.
• Housing quality & maintenance: For 5 years from the date of this declaration, the owner must keep the property in compliance with all applicable housing quality standards, local code requirements, and Phoenix's neighborhood preservation ordinances. The owner must also maintain landscaping and keep the property free of debris.
• Non-discrimination: The owner must not discriminate or segregate on the basis of race, age, color, religion, gender, national origin, or disability in the sale, lease, or use of the property.
• Enforcement: The City of Phoenix is the beneficiary of these covenants and has the right to enforce them through legal action if breached.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration covers only affordability, maintenance, and non-discrimination. It does not contain typical HOA rules about pets, parking, architectural changes, common areas, or owner assessments. Those would be found in separate HOA documents if they exist.
