Coyote Landing Condominiums

What Coyote Landing Condominiums's governing documents say

Coyote Landing Condominiums is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your unit and a shared interest in the common elements, with the association maintaining common areas and carrying master insurance. This declaration defines rights, responsibilities, and rules for all unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings to the finished surfaces) and are responsible for its maintenance, repair, and replacement. You also maintain limited common elements assigned to your unit, such as patios, balconies, garage (including its door and roof), windows, doors, and the air conditioning/heater/hot water heater. The association maintains all common elements (landscaping, streets, recreational amenities, structural elements of limited common elements) except those specifically assigned to owners.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire unit (not a portion) only. Leases must be in writing and must state they are subject to the condominium documents. You must notify the association of the lease's start and end dates and the lessee's names. Garages cannot be leased separately from the unit. The document does not specify a minimum lease term.
• Pets: Only generally recognized house pets are allowed, with a weight limit of 20 pounds per pet, except service animals for handicapped residents. No more than two dogs may occupy a unit regardless of size. Pets must be leashed (max 6 feet) and under control when outside the unit; owners must immediately clean up droppings. No pet structures visible from outside.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles (trucks, RVs, boats, etc.) may only be parked inside your garage. Family vehicles (cars, SUVs, minivans, motorcycles, pickups under 3/4 ton) may be parked elsewhere as allowed. No vehicle repair (except emergencies) or storage of inoperable vehicles is permitted on the property; violations may be towed at owner expense. Garages must be used primarily for parking a vehicle, not storage.
• Use restrictions: Units and limited common elements must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, involve no customer visits, use no hazardous materials, and don't generate traffic or parking issues. No signs visible from outside without board approval (except required legal signs). No nuisances, loud noises, or offensive activities. Window coverings visible from outside require board approval.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are shared equally among all 292 units (each pays 1/292 of the budget). The initial maximum annual assessment is $105 per unit, automatically increasing each year by the greater of 10% or the CPI increase. Special assessments (for capital improvements or other lawful purposes) require approval by two-thirds of unit owners voting. Delinquent assessments accrue interest at 18% annually and are secured by a lien on the unit.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural changes inside your unit may be made without board approval, but structural alterations (e.g., affecting load-bearing walls) require prior written board approval and certification by a licensed architect or engineer that structural integrity won't be impaired. Any alteration visible from the exterior must be approved by the board, which will assess aesthetic harmony. You are liable for damage to other units or common elements caused by your alterations.
• Insurance: The association must maintain property insurance on common elements and units (excluding owner improvements) at 100% replacement cost, general liability insurance ($1M per occurrence/$2M aggregate), workers' compensation, directors and officers liability ($2M per claim), and flood insurance if in a flood zone. Owners are responsible for insuring their personal property and any betterments; the association's insurance does not cover owner contents or liability.
