The Legend, a Condominium Development

What The Legend, a Condominium Development's governing documents say

The Legend is a condominium in Scottsdale, Arizona — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements, which the association maintains through per-unit assessments. The declarant (Sueba-Mark IV, L.L.C.) controls the board during a transition period ending when 75% of units are sold or four years pass, whichever comes first.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior surfaces (walls, flooring, finished ceilings, doors, windows, fixtures, and improvements inside the unit boundaries). The association maintains the building structure, common elements, and exterior. You're responsible for maintaining limited common elements allocated to your unit—certain mechanical/utility fixtures, exterior doors/windows, and (for first-floor units) your patio or (for second-floor) your balcony; the association maintains the roof and exterior wall of patios/balconies.
• Pets: No more than two domestic pets per unit—dogs, cats, or household birds only. Pets must not make unreasonable noise, cause odor, or become a nuisance. Dogs must be leashed when outside your unit and kept under control; they are not permitted on the golf course abutting the property or allowed to relieve themselves on common elements. Units with pets must be kept clean.
• Parking & vehicles: Maximum two vehicles per unit (cars, vans, or standard-size pickup trucks only). No trucks larger than standard size, mobile homes, travel trailers, RVs, boats, campers, or commercial vehicles are allowed. All vehicles must be licensed and inoperable vehicles cannot be stored outside garages. Vehicle repair is prohibited on the property except for emergency repairs; garage doors must be closed during any servicing.
• Leasing & rentals: You may only lease your entire unit, not a portion of it. All leases must be in writing and subordinate to the condominium documents; any lessee violation is a default under the lease. During the lease term, the lessee and their family have the right to use common elements; the unit owner does not.
• Improvements & alterations: Non-structural interior changes don't require board approval, but you're responsible for any damage to other units or common elements. Structural alterations require prior board approval and certification from a licensed Arizona architect or engineer. Any changes visible from the building's exterior—including alterations to patios and balconies—require board approval, which is granted only if the board finds the work aesthetically pleasing and in harmony with surroundings. No improvements to common elements are permitted without board approval.
• Business use & home occupancy: Units are for residential use only. A resident may operate a business from their unit only if: the business is not apparent by sight, sound, or smell from outside; it complies with zoning; it does not involve people visiting the unit or door-to-door solicitation; and it doesn't create a nuisance or threaten safety or security. Leasing the unit is not considered a business.
• Restrictions on signs, antennas, utilities & exterior features: No antennas, satellite dishes, or external utility lines are allowed without board approval (except existing lines and maintenance thereof). Signs are restricted to a single 9-by-30-inch name-and-address sign; all others require board approval. No exterior clotheslines or clothes-drying facilities are permitted. Reflective materials (foil, mirrors, reflective screens) cannot be installed on windows without board approval. Balconies and patios must be kept clean and cannot be used for storage or clothes drying.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full assessment amounts, the complete insurance provisions, or detailed enforcement and dispute-resolution procedures. See Article 7 (Assessments), Article 8 (Insurance), and Article 10 (General Provisions) in the full declaration for those details.
