What Las Casitas De Earl Condominiums's governing documents say

Las Casitas De Earl Condominiums is a 15-unit condominium community in Phoenix, AZ. As a unit owner, you hold fee simple title to your unit's interior space plus an undivided interest in the common elements, which the association maintains and insures. This declaration establishes the governing rules for ownership, use, and operation of the property.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior surfaces and fixtures within your unit. The association maintains the structural elements, common areas, patios, balconies, and storage areas, as well as any shared utility conduits. You are responsible for decorating and maintaining interior finishes, appliances, and mechanical systems like your heating and air conditioning unit.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing and cannot be for transient or hotel purposes. You may only lease the entire unit (not a portion). Any lease must comply with the declaration and bylaws, and a lessee's failure to comply constitutes a lease default. Leases for less than six months are not explicitly prohibited here, but transient use is restricted.
• Pets: Only household pets are allowed, but the board may limit the number and kind of pets and adopt regulations. Keep within your unit and follow all association rules.
• Business use: No business activities may be conducted in any unit or on the property, except that you may maintain a personal professional library, keep business records, or handle business calls and correspondence from your unit.
• Assessments & fees: The initial maximum annual assessment is $600 per unit. This amount can be increased annually by the Consumer Price Index without a vote, or above CPI by a two-thirds vote of each class of members. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote. Assessments are a lien on the unit and a personal obligation of the owner.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association is responsible for structural maintenance, exterior walls, common elements, and utility systems serving multiple units. As a unit owner, you maintain interior surfaces, fixtures, appliances, and any damage caused by your acts or guests. You must also clean windows and glass doors unless the board decides otherwise.
• Alterations & improvements: Nonstructural alterations inside your unit generally do not need board approval unless they are visible from outside the unit or other parts of the property. Structural alterations require board approval and may require an engineer's certification. Any alteration must not impair structural integrity.
