Montego Bay Condominiums

What Montego Bay Condominiums's governing documents say

Montego Bay Condominiums is a 52-unit condominium community in Mesa, AZ. You own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. This Declaration of Condominium (from 2006) sets the rules for owners, residents, and tenants, and is subject to the Arizona Condominium Act.

• What you own & maintain: Your unit includes interior finished surfaces (walls, floors, ceiling) and fixtures that serve only your unit. The association maintains all common elements (shared structures, grounds, etc.) and carries master property and liability insurance. You are responsible for maintaining your unit and certain limited common elements like patios, exterior doors, and windows.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire unit only (no subleasing or partial leases). Leases must be in writing and include that the lease is subject to the declaration and rules. You must provide the association with tenant names, lease dates, and emergency contact at least 10 days before move-in. You remain liable for any rule violations by your tenants.
• Pets: You may keep up to two 'Permitted Pets' (dogs, cats, or household birds). Pets cannot be a nuisance (excessive noise, odor). Dogs must be leashed outside your unit, and you must clean up waste. No outdoor pet structures visible from outside. The board may adopt additional rules on pet size/weight with member approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit is allocated at least one covered parking space. No trucks, trailers, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles may be parked on the property except inside a garage. Inoperable vehicles and repairs (except emergency) are prohibited. The board may tow violating vehicles at owner expense.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if not visible or detectable from outside, comply with zoning, and do not create nuisance or security issues (as determined by the board). No nuisances, illegal activity, or offensive conduct allowed. Window coverings and patio use require board approval if they affect exterior appearance.
• Signs & antennas: No exterior signs except a name/address sign up to 9x30 inches. 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' signs require board approval. Outdoor antennas or satellite dishes are prohibited without board approval, unless federal law prohibits restricting them. Even if allowed, they must be installed per board rules.
• Assessments & fees: Common expense assessments are divided equally among all 52 units (each unit pays 1/52 of the budget). The board sets the budget and may increase assessments during the year if needed. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of owners. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and late fees, and the association may lien and foreclose. A working capital fund equal to two months' assessment is due from initial purchasers. A transfer fee (set by board) is due upon sale.
