The Golf Cottages at Gainey Ranch

What The Golf Cottages at Gainey Ranch's governing documents say

The Golf Cottages at Gainey Ranch is a condominium community in Scottsdale, AZ, with 48 units in 12 buildings. You own your unit's interior and share ownership of the common elements (buildings, grounds, amenities) with all other owners. The Association maintains the common elements and enforces the rules; you pay a uniform monthly assessment (1/48th of total common expenses). This project is part of the larger Gainey Ranch master-planned community, so you must also comply with the Master Declaration.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior space of your unit (from finished floor to ceiling, interior wall surfaces). You are responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of interior finishes, windows, doors, plumbing and electrical fixtures, appliances, and any exclusive-use areas (garage parking, patio, balcony). The Association maintains all common elements including structural components, exterior surfaces, and shared utility lines.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay a regular monthly assessment in equal shares (1/48 per unit). The Board may also levy capital improvement assessments (over 10% of annual budget requires majority vote) and special assessments for violations or services. Assessments are a personal obligation and a lien on the unit. Late charges apply after 15 days; interest after 30 days.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must comply with Association Rules and the Master Declaration. There is no minimum lease term stated in the excerpts, but the document references Section 8.14 which likely contains restrictions. Owners must ensure tenants comply with all rules.
• Pets: Section 8.13 addresses animals. The excerpt does not detail restrictions, so see Association Rules for pet limits, types, and leash requirements.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit has an exclusive easement to a designated garage parking space. No commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, or campers may be parked on the property except for temporary loading/unloading. Motorcycles and bicycles must be parked in designated areas. The Board may adopt parking rules and assess charges for violations.
• Signs & exterior alterations: No signs may be displayed without Board approval. External fixtures (e.g., window covers, antennas) are restricted per Section 8.06-8.07. Any structural or exterior alterations to the unit or common elements require prior Board approval.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: No noxious or offensive activities, or any activity that interferes with others' quiet enjoyment. Temporary structures (tents, shacks) are prohibited without Board approval. All activity must comply with local laws and the Master Declaration.
