What Velda Rose Estates Three's governing documents say

Velda Rose Estates Three is a single-family home community in Phoenix, Arizona governed by an age-restricted HOA. You own your lot and home but must comply with strict architectural, vehicle, pet, and yard rules enforced by the homeowners association, which maintains common areas and is funded by annual assessments.

• Age restriction (55+): Every lot must have at least one resident aged 55 or older; no one under 18 can live there except as guests (max 60 consecutive days or 90 days per year), surviving spouses, or dependents of owners in elder care. At least 80% of lots must always have a 55+ resident.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; you're responsible for all exterior maintenance including yard, fences, carport, termite control, and keeping structures in good repair. The association can force repairs after 30 days' notice and charge you the cost.
• Architectural review & alterations: Any structural changes (fences, sheds, walls, additions) require prior Board or Architectural Committee approval; non-structural interior changes are exempt. Homes must have at least 800 sq ft ground floor, front setback 20–35 feet, side setbacks 5 feet (interior) or 10 feet (corner), max 1 story, with garage/carport for up to 2 cars.
• Pets: Only domestic house pets allowed, not for commercial purposes; pets must always be leashed and owners are responsible for cleanup. The Board determines what qualifies as a 'house pet.'
• Vehicles & parking: No abandoned or inoperable vehicles visible from neighbors; no vehicle repairs visible to neighbors (minor 6-hour repairs exempt). Vehicles can't sit on streets more than 7 consecutive days or on property more than 30 days without moving. Trailers/motorhomes over 24 feet not permitted; campers, RVs, boats must be enclosed. Violations result in towing and fines.

One security sign and one For Sale/Rent sign (max 24"×36") permitted. You maintain your lawn and plantings; can't remove common area plantings without Board consent. No trailers or temporary buildings allowed as residences.
• Leasing & rentals: Property can be leased only to a single family, subject to conditions in the declaration. Specific lease terms and protections are not fully detailed in this excerpt.
