Nile Gardens Condominium

What Nile Gardens Condominium's governing documents say

Nile Gardens Condominium is a 55+ active-adult community in Sun City, Arizona — you own your individual unit and share the building's common elements, which the association maintains and insures through per-unit assessments. At least one resident per unit must be 55 or older; no one under 18 may reside in the community.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one person per unit must be 55 or older. No one under 18 is allowed to reside in any unit.
• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior. The association maintains the building exterior, perimeter walls/fencing, common landscaping/irrigation, and common lighting. You're responsible for your unit's doors, windows, roof, flooring, back courtyard, AC/heating/hot water, gutters, walkways, utilities, and any exterior modifications (with Board approval). Dividing walls between units are jointly owned by both adjoining unit owners; if one owner's negligence causes damage, they pay for repairs; otherwise costs are split.
• Leasing & rentals: New units cannot be leased except in rare cases where the Board approves for hardship. Existing leases may continue until expiration.
• Residential use only: Units are strictly for single-family residential use; no business, trade, or professional activity is allowed.
• Pets: Maximum two cats, dogs, or birds per unit; no other animals allowed. Dogs and cats must be leashed (max 10 feet) when outside. Pets cannot create excessive noise or odor.
• Parking & vehicles: No inoperable vehicles (lacking current registration or with flat/missing tires). No vehicle repair except minor maintenance (oil/tire changes, window replacement). Trucks, trailers, campers, and boats prohibited except temporarily (max 72 hours, max twice monthly) for loading/unloading.
• Architectural review: Board approval required in writing before any structural modifications or exterior changes (patios, skylights, solar panels, satellite dishes, antennas). Also required to remove/plant trees or shrubs in front yard. The Board has 45 days to respond; failure to decide means approval is deemed not required.
• Assessments & financial obligations: Annual per-unit assessments set in the annual budget. Increases up to 20% don't require member approval; increases above 20% require majority vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require majority vote. Late payment (over 30 days) incurs 10% annual interest plus $15 per installment; the association can foreclose. The association insures the building at 80% replacement cost; you must obtain your own homeowner's liability and personal property insurance and pay the association's insurance deductible if your unit is damaged.
