East Clarendon Place

What East Clarendon Place's governing documents say

East Clarendon Place is a condominium community in Phoenix, Arizona—you own your individual unit and share an undivided interest in common elements (parking, roof, utilities, grounds), which the association maintains and insures. The community operates under Arizona's horizontal property regime law, with governing rules that establish owner rights, association powers, and use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (bounded by perimeter walls), windows, doors, electrical outlets, an appurtenant patio or balcony, and an exclusive parking space. You also hold a permanent, undivided percentage interest in all common areas. The association maintains the structure, roof, utilities, parking, and grounds; you are liable only for damage caused by your own act or negligence.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per unit based on your share of common areas and can increase or decrease up to 10% without a vote; beyond 10% requires 51% member approval. Special assessments for capital improvements are capped at 5% of budgeted expenses without majority vote. New buyers must pay 2 months' assessments at closing. Unpaid assessments incur 12% annual interest and become a lien superior to most other debts.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your unit to tenants, but short-term transient rentals are prohibited—defined as rentals under 10 days or any rental with hotel services (maid, room service, bellhop). All leases must be in writing, for the entire unit, and must bind tenants to the project documents.
• Pets: Only usual and ordinary small household pets (dogs, cats, birds) are allowed with association approval, kept under reasonable control. Approval cannot be unreasonably withheld; the association may require removal if a pet's behavior becomes objectionable.
• Vehicles: Trailers, campers, mobile homes, commercial vehicles, non-standard trucks, inoperable automobiles, and boats are not permitted except in enclosed garages/carports or board-designated areas. No noisy or smoky vehicles; no off-road unlicensed motor vehicles.
• Architectural control & exterior changes: An architectural control committee (3–5 members, board-appointed) must approve in writing any exterior alterations, improvements, patios, landscaping, or structures before work begins. Patios and balconies cannot be used for storage or clotheslines, and all landscaping visible from streets or common areas requires committee approval.
• Use restrictions & conduct: Units are for single-family residential use only—no trade, business, or home occupation. No noxious, illegal, or offensive activities. Power equipment and car maintenance are prohibited except emergency or minor repairs under one day (which require board approval). Exterior clotheslines are not permitted.
• Assessment enforcement: Unpaid assessments create a lien on your unit that is superior to most other liens (except property taxes and first mortgages) and can be foreclosed. The association may also suspend your voting and membership privileges after notice and hearing for unpaid assessments. Delinquent assessments accrue 12% annual interest.
