Hallcraft Villas West Seven

What Hallcraft Villas West Seven's governing documents say

Hallcraft Villas West Seven is a 179-unit condominium project in Phoenix, Arizona established in 1972 — you own your individual apartment unit plus an undivided share in common areas and facilities, which the association maintains and funds through monthly assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior and finished surfaces (walls, plaster, paint, flooring finishes). You do not own the undecorated perimeter walls, utility lines serving multiple units, or the building structure itself—these are shared and maintained by the association. You're responsible for all internal repairs: water, gas, electricity, sewage, telephone, AC, doors, windows, and sanitary fixtures.
• Monthly assessments: All owners must pay monthly assessments determined by the association, calculated pro rata based on the value of your unit. Assessments cover communal expenses including liability insurance, fire/hazard insurance, maintenance of common areas, parking, private sewers, water lines, and private drives. You cannot exempt yourself by refusing to use common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Short-term rentals are prohibited—leases must run at least 30 days, and rentals cannot include customary hotel services (room service, maid service, furnished laundry, bellboy services). Owners have an absolute right to lease for periods of 30 days or longer, provided the lease complies with condominium covenants and by-laws.
• Owner conduct & restrictions: Units are for residential use only. Residents must exercise care with noise, cannot hang garments or rugs from windows, cannot beat rugs on the exterior, must dispose of garbage in designated areas, and cannot install exterior wiring, TV antennae, or AC units without authorization. Domestic animals are permitted but subject to association regulations.
• Structural modifications: Owners must notify the association in writing before making structural modifications or alterations. The association has 14 days to respond; failure to respond within that time means there is no objection to the modification.
• Party walls: If a party wall (shared wall between units) is damaged by an owner's act, that owner must rebuild and repair it at their own cost. If damaged by other causes (wear, time, natural causes), both adjoining owners share repair costs equally. An owner who causes a party wall to be exposed to the elements bears the full cost of protection.
• Parking: Each unit owner is entitled to use two automobile parking spaces as close and convenient to the unit as reasonably possible, assigned by the association.
• Governance & voting: Unit owners automatically become association members. Voting is on a percentage basis tied to unit value. The association is governed by a 5-member board of directors (all must be unit owners), elected annually at meetings held the third Friday of February. Decisions require majority approval (51%+); by-law amendments require 75% owner approval.
