Villas West Seven

What Villas West Seven's governing documents say

Villas West Seven is a condominium community of 179 townhouse-style units in Phoenix, AZ. You own your unit and a 1/179 undivided interest in the common elements, which the association maintains and insures via equal assessments. This declaration governs use, leasing, pets, vehicles, and other restrictions binding all unit owners.

• Residential use & home businesses: Units are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed if not detectable from outside, involve no on-site customer visits, use no more than one non-resident employee, and comply with zoning and community noise/safety standards.
• Leasing & rentals: No more than 25% of units may be leased at any time. Leases must be for exactly 12 months (no shorter or longer). Owners must submit leases and tenant registration forms 30 days before execution, pay a security deposit set by the board, and may face penalties for non-compliance including a 12-month suspension of leasing rights.
• Pets: Only common household pets allowed. No pet may exceed 20 pounds unless it's a service/assistance animal. No more than two dogs per unit regardless of size. Pets must be leashed (max 6 feet) when outside, and owners must immediately clean up droppings on common elements.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, or trailers may be parked on the property except inside the unit's garage. Only 'family vehicles' (cars, small pickups, SUV, minivan) may park on driveways or in unassigned common spaces. No vehicle repairs or storage of inoperable vehicles outside the garage.
• Assessments & fees: Each unit pays an equal 1/179 share of common expenses. Annual assessments are capped at $500 per unit initially, with automatic annual increases of up to 10% or CPI. Special assessments require approval of 2/3 of owners. Delinquent assessments bear 18% interest and late fees, and a lien may be foreclosed.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains all common elements including building exteriors, roofs, parking areas, landscaping, and recreational amenities. Unit owners are responsible for interior maintenance, plus limited common elements such as patios/balconies, garage doors, windows, and HVAC units. Owners must keep their garage clean and not use it for storage that prevents parking.
• Architectural review & alterations: Nonstructural interior alterations do not require board approval, but structural changes or any modification visible from the exterior (including window coverings, paint, signs) require prior written board approval. Signs are generally prohibited except for approved or legally required signs.
