Ravenwood at Tempe

What Ravenwood at Tempe's governing documents say

Ravenwood at Tempe is a condominium community in Tempe, AZ — you own your unit's interior and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains common areas, carries master insurance, and levies assessments based on an equal share per unit. Living here comes with specific rules about use, alterations, and common amenities like gated access.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings, interior partitions, and fixtures that serve only your unit). The association owns and maintains all common elements, including balconies, patios, windows, doors, and exterior walls, plus shared amenities like access gates and parking areas.
• Residential use & home business: Units must be used for residential purposes only. You may run a business from home if it's not detectable from outside (no sight, sound, vibration, or smell), doesn't bring customers to the unit, complies with zoning, and stays consistent with the residential character. Leasing your unit is not considered a business.
• Antennas & satellite dishes: Antennas and satellite dishes are allowed only if covered by FCC rules. They must be placed in your unit or on a balcony/patio in the least visible spot, and on a tripod not extending more than 2 feet above the wall. No wires may run on the building's exterior perimeter walls.
• Alterations & improvements: Changes to common elements require board approval. Interior alterations beyond paint or wallpaper also need board approval, and the board may require an engineer's certification that the work won't impair structural integrity or mechanical systems. All work must be done by licensed contractors.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted but subject to restrictions described in the declaration. The specific terms (minimum lease term, approval process, etc.) are not included in this excerpt, so you'll need to check the full document or association rules.
• Parking & vehicles: Garages are part of individual units. Parking spaces are limited common elements allocated to specific units. Owners may lease their parking space to another owner, lessee, or occupant, but not to outsiders. The association may regulate parking on common elements.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are levied equally per unit. The association can also impose special assessments, individual expense assessments (for damage caused by a unit owner), enforcement assessments (for rule violations), and user fees. Nonpayment can lead to a lien on your unit.
• Access & security: The community has electronically activated access gates as common elements. They may restrict emergency vehicle access, and the association is not liable for security breaches or delays. Owners and guests assume risks related to gate operation.
