Sun-Air Estates Units III, IV, V and VI

What Sun-Air Estates Units III, IV, V and VI's governing documents say

Sun-Air Estates Units III, IV, V and VI is an age-restricted (55+) community of single-family homes and duplexes in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association. Owners own their lot and unit; the association manages common areas (e.g., pool, clubhouse) and enforces rules. This declaration binds all owners and occupants.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one permanent occupant age 55 or older is required per unit. No one under 18 may be a permanent occupant; temporary visits are limited to 30 days per calendar year. If a qualifying owner dies, the requirement is waived for heirs or surviving spouse as long as no occupant is under 18 and 80% of units remain occupied by someone 55+.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire lot/unit, and for a minimum of 30 days. Owners must notify the board before renting and provide information about the tenant to ensure compliance. The owner remains responsible for tenant violations.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common household pets are allowed, not bred or kept for commercial purposes. Pets must be kept on the owner's lot or on a leash no longer than 6 feet; owners must clean up droppings on common areas or other lots. Unreasonable noise or nuisance is prohibited.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (3-5 members) must approve all exterior changes, including construction, painting (if not same color and type), fencing, landscaping, and other improvements. Drawings and specifications must be submitted; approval or disapproval within 45 days. Fees and deposits may be required.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, vans, boats, trailers, motor homes, campers, or similar vehicles may be parked or stored on common areas or lots except in garages, carports, fenced back yards, or designated areas. Exceptions: pickup trucks and vans with 3/4-ton rating or less, work vehicles during daylight, and motor homes 48 hours before/after a trip for loading/unloading.
• Party walls: Walls on lot dividing lines, including patio walls and duplex dividing walls, are party walls. Owners share repair costs; if damage is caused by one owner, that owner bears full cost. Modifying a party wall requires written consent from the adjoining owner. The board resolves disputes.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board at a uniform rate per lot. Special assessments for capital improvements require a majority vote of members. Delinquent assessments bear 10% interest, plus late fees and collection costs, and become a lien on the lot. Annual increases are capped at 20% unless a majority of members consent.
