Cedic Gardens Townhouses

What Cedic Gardens Townhouses's governing documents say

Cedic Gardens Townhouses is a 27-unit townhome community in Phoenix, AZ. You own your individual unit and an undivided 1/27 interest in the common areas (Tract A), which include land, parking, pool, and utility lines. The Association maintains the exteriors and common elements; you maintain the interior of your unit.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior and must maintain it, including fixtures and equipment inside the exterior walls. The Association maintains the exteriors, roofs, common areas, landscaping, and parking. You are responsible for termite control and must not impair structural integrity.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases for less than 30 days are prohibited (no transient/hotel use). Leases must be for full value and subject to the Declaration and Bylaws. The Association has a right of first refusal on any sale or lease – you must give written notice to the Board, which has 15 days to designate a replacement buyer/tenant on the same terms.
• Architectural review: No exterior additions, alterations, or changes to fences, hedges, or walls may be made without prior written approval from the Association's architectural committee (the Board or its designee). Plans and specs must be submitted; if no decision within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Occupancy & use: Units may be used only as private dwellings for the owner, family, and social guests, or for tenants under a lease. No commercial use. The Declaration includes a prohibition on transient rentals (less than 30 days).
• Assessments & liens: Common expenses are shared equally among all 27 units (each unit has 1/27 share). Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit, senior to all liens except tax liens and prior recorded mortgages. The Association can foreclose on the lien and obtain a money judgment.
• Amendment & duration: The covenants run for an initial 20 years (from 1974) and automatically renew for successive 10-year terms unless amended by 3/4 of unit owners. During the first 20 years, amendments require 90% approval; afterward, 75% approval suffices.
