What Cooper Square's governing documents say
Cooper Square is a condominium community in Chapel Hill, NC, governed by a Declaration of Condominium. This document sets out the rules for unit owners, including use restrictions, leasing rules, pet limits, and maintenance responsibilities. It also reserves development rights for the builder to add up to 50 units.
- What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (walls, floors, ceilings, and included fixtures like HVAC and electrical). The association maintains common elements, but you're responsible for repairs inside your unit and for limited common elements like your HVAC system, exterior doors/windows, and stairways/decks assigned to your unit.
- Leasing & rentals: Renting is allowed, but leases must be in writing, for the entire unit, and for at least 60 days (no transient or hotel-style rentals). You must notify the association of each tenant's name and lease term. Tenants must follow the rules, and the association can enforce them directly.
- Pets: No animals, livestock, or poultry are allowed except up to two adult household pets per unit, and only with a conditional one-year permit from the association. Pets must be leashed, cleaned up after, and not disturb neighbors.
- Use & occupancy: Units must be used as a single private household for residential purposes only. No rooming houses, time-sharing, or subdividing units. Home offices are allowed only as an incidental use, with limits on floor area, signage, and traffic.
- Assessments & fees: You'll pay monthly common expense assessments based on your unit's allocated percentage (see Exhibit B-1). The association can also levy special assessments for major repairs or uninsured losses, and unpaid assessments become a lien on your unit.
- Rentals & leases: Leases must be in writing and for at least 60 days. You must notify the association of the tenant's name and lease term. Tenants must comply with the rules, and the association can enforce rules directly against tenants.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration only; it doesn't include the full bylaws, rules and regulations, or the current budget. It also doesn't specify exact assessment amounts or pet permit fees—those are set separately by the association.
