Each unit comes with a 2-car garage and a balcony or deck (limited common elements). The association pays for water, sewer, and trash; you pay for other utilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own everything inside your unit's perimeter walls (including finished surfaces). You must maintain your unit, garage, balcony/deck, windows, and doors (excluding exterior painting of doors). The association maintains common elements and limited common elements (like building structure, roof, plumbing, wiring that serves more than one unit).
• Leasing & rentals: You may only lease your entire unit (not a room). Initial lease term must be at least 6 months; after that, renewals can be as short as 30 days. Leases must be in writing and include a provision that the tenant must follow the governing documents. You must notify the association of lease start/end dates and tenant names. Short-term rentals (less than 6 months) are prohibited.
• Pets: A 'reasonable number' of common household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are allowed, kept as domestic pets only and not for commercial purposes. Pets must not be a nuisance, and dogs must be leashed when outside your unit. No pet structures visible from outside. The board can set rules on pets.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit has a 2-car garage (part of the unit). No trucks except pick-ups or SUVs, no trailers, campers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be parked anywhere except inside the garage. Guest parking is available on common elements. Garage doors must stay closed except when entering/exiting. No vehicle repairs except emergencies and only inside the garage.

You cannot offset assessments against claims against the association.
