La Terraza at Biltmore Condominiums

What La Terraza at Biltmore Condominiums's governing documents say

La Terraza at Biltmore Condominiums is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ. You own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements, which the association maintains and insures. Unit owners are bound by the declaration, bylaws, rules, and the Arizona Condominium Act.

• Residential use only: All units must be used exclusively as residences. Limited home-based businesses are allowed if they are not detectable from outside the unit, involve no customer visits, and don’t disturb neighbors.
• Alterations & improvements: Structural changes or any exterior-visible alterations require prior written board approval. Nonstructural interior changes that don't affect plumbing or structure may not need approval, but the owner is liable for any damage.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking garages are generally limited common elements assigned to specific units. The board may assign unallocated spaces, adopt parking rules, and tow vehicles. During declarant control, the declarant can sell or reassign any unallocated garages.
• Leasing & rentals: Unit owners may lease their units. Time-sharing is prohibited. Leases must comply with association rules, and the owner remains responsible for tenant compliance. The declaration does not set a minimum lease term (check current rules).
• Animals: Service animals are permitted. Other pets are subject to rules adopted by the board; the declaration does not specify a limit on the number or type of pets.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies common expense assessments, special assessments, individual expense assessments, enforcement assessments, and user fees. Assessments are based on each unit's percentage interest (square footage of unit plus balcony/patio and garage). Failure to pay can result in a lien and foreclosure.
• Dispute resolution: Most disputes between the association, owners, tenants, and declarant must go through mandatory mediation and arbitration before litigation. This includes claims for construction defects, covenant violations, and collection matters.
• What this document doesn't cover: The excerpt is truncated and omits specific rules on trash, antennas, window coverings, and detailed pet regulations. Amenities like the clubhouse and fitness center are mentioned but their exact rules are not fully detailed here.
