Hanover Place West Homeowners Association

What Hanover Place West Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a first amendment to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Hanover Place West, a homeowners association (HOA) in Cary, NC. It adds a new Section 11 to Article X, which sets rules for leasing lots in the community. The amendment applies to all homeowners and residents, and it was approved by at least 67% of the membership.

• Leasing & rentals: No lot may be leased unless it has been owner-occupied for at least 24 consecutive months, with exceptions for hardship (approved by the Board) and transfers to heirs upon the owner's death. This requirement applies only to owners who acquire a lot after the amendment is recorded, not to current owners as of that date.
• Lease terms & restrictions: Only the whole lot may be leased; no partial leases or room rentals. Subleasing and assignment of leases require prior written Board approval. All leases must be in writing, for a term of at least 12 consecutive months, and must incorporate the Declaration, Bylaws, and Association rules as conditions of the lease.
• Transient rentals & timeshares: Lots may not be leased for hotel or transient purposes, including short-term rentals like Airbnb. Timeshare programs are also prohibited.
• Lease registration & documentation: Owners must provide lessees with copies of the governing documents and have them sign a statement acknowledging receipt and review. A copy of that statement and the executed lease must be filed with the Board within 10 days of signing or occupancy, whichever comes first. The Board may also require lease registration.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only an amendment adding leasing rules; it does not cover other HOA topics like assessments, architectural control, or pet restrictions. Those remain in the original Declaration, which is not included here.
