Rialto

What Rialto's governing documents say

Rialto is a condominium community in Tempe, AZ — you own your individual unit (one of 54) and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains the common areas and carries master insurance. The community was converted from apartments to condos in 2006, with original construction completed in 1986.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior, including finished surfaces. The association maintains common elements (e.g., building structure, grounds, access gates). Limited common elements like balconies, patios, storage rooms, and covered parking spaces are allocated to specific units and you must maintain them.
• Pets: Up to two dogs and/or cats per unit (total of two) are allowed as household pets. Pets must be leashed on common areas, cleaned up after, and not left unattended on balconies/patios. Breeds deemed aggressive may be banned.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit is allocated one covered parking space as a limited common element. Only authorized vehicles (standard cars, SUVs, vans ≤10 passengers, motorcycles, pickup trucks ≤1 ton) under 7 feet tall may park. No maintenance, repair, or storage in parking spaces. Parking spaces can be leased only to other residents.
• Architectural review: All alterations to the unit or common elements (including interior work that affects structure or systems, and any exterior change) require prior written board approval. The board may require deposits, insurance, and professional certifications. Work must comply with codes and be done by licensed contractors.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, no customer visits, and consistent with residential character. No water beds or aquariums over 30 gallons. No antennas except those covered by FCC rules. Trash must be in covered containers and not stored on patios/balconies.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are levied per unit (54 units, each paying 1/54th of common expenses). Special assessments and enforcement assessments may also apply. A transfer fee is mentioned in the document. Failure to pay results in a lien.
• Insurance: The association carries master property and liability insurance. Unit owners should obtain their own policies for personal property and interior improvements.
