Bentwood Park Condominium Owners Association Inc

What Bentwood Park Condominium Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

Bentwood Park is a condominium community in Durham, NC, created in 1986 under the North Carolina Condominium Act. You own your individual unit and share ownership of common elements, which the association maintains and insures. This declaration sets out the rules for owners and occupants, including leasing, pets, and assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (from the undecorated surfaces of walls, ceiling, and subflooring inward) and are responsible for its maintenance and repair. The association maintains and repairs the common elements, and you must pay for damage you or your occupants cause to common elements or other units.
• Leasing & rentals: Renting for transient or hotel purposes is prohibited: no lease shorter than 30 days, and no rental where the lessee is provided customary hotel services. Each lease must be in writing, cover the entire unit, and comply with the declaration and bylaws. You must notify the association of the lessee's name, address, unit, and lease term.
• Assessments & fees: The board can levy assessments for common expenses, payable in monthly installments as set in the bylaws. If an assessment is delinquent by 30 days, it can become a lien on your unit and be foreclosed. You cannot exempt yourself from paying your share of common expenses by waiving use of common elements or abandoning your unit.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. No signs or on-premises advertising without board consent (except the declarant's sales signs). You cannot do anything that increases insurance rates, causes cancellation of insurance, violates law, or wastes or damages the unit or common elements.
• Alterations & common elements: You cannot alter, construct on, remove from, paint, decorate, landscape, or adorn any part of the common elements without prior written board consent. Unit alterations are allowed per the Act and bylaws.
• Insurance: The association maintains casualty and liability insurance as required by law, paid as a common expense. You may buy your own insurance for personal property, additional living expense, condominium assessment, and personal liability, but it must include waivers and be without contribution against the association's policy.
• Right of entry: The association may enter your unit in an emergency or with reasonable notice to perform its duties. Other owners may enter your unit when reasonably necessary for maintenance or repair, with advance notice and at a convenient time. The person entering is responsible for any damage caused.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is the declaration only; it does not include the bylaws, rules and regulations, or any current fee amounts. It also does not cover pet restrictions, parking, or age restrictions—those may be in the bylaws or separate rules.
