Hunters Trace

What Hunters Trace's governing documents say

Hunters Trace is a planned community of single-family homes in Asheville, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is a Fifth Amendment to the Declaration, focusing primarily on leasing rules and adding a mandatory form lease. It binds all lot owners and their tenants.

• Leasing & rentals: Living units may only be rented in their entirety, for a minimum term of one year (unless the Board grants a shorter term in its sole discretion). No more than six living units may be leased at any one time, except in hardship cases determined by the Board. All leases and lessees require Board approval, which cannot be unreasonably withheld.
• Lease approval & paperwork: Owners must notify the Board in writing when a unit goes under contract for sale or lease, and provide a copy of the signed lease within 15 days of signing and before occupancy. Failure to provide the lease results in a fine. Leases must contain language equivalent to the Board's approved form lease, which is attached to the amendment.
• Tenant obligations & enforcement: Tenants must comply with the Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations. Fines for violations can be assessed directly against the tenant; if unpaid, the owner must pay. The Association has the power to evict tenants on behalf of the owner for violations, with costs assessed against the unit.
• Assessment liability: Upon the Association's written request, a tenant must pay unpaid common expense assessments during their occupancy, up to the amount of unpaid rent. Such payments reduce the tenant's rent obligation. The owner remains ultimately responsible for assessments.
• Parking & vehicles: Only passenger vehicles may be parked on common areas, and no more than two vehicles per unit on Association property. Commercial trucks, RVs, boats, trailers, and commercial vans are prohibited.
• Pets: Pets are allowed only if permitted by the Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations, and only common household pets are allowed. The lease form requires the owner's permission for pets.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial amendment focused on leasing; it does not contain the full set of community rules (e.g., architectural control, maintenance obligations, or assessment amounts). Readers should consult the original Declaration, Bylaws, and current Rules & Regulations for complete governing rules.
