Northampton Court Homeowners Association Inc

What Northampton Court Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a declaration of condominium for The Manchester Condominium, a small four-unit building in Durham, North Carolina. It establishes the legal framework for owning one of the units and sharing the common areas, and it binds all unit owners. The document is the full rulebook for the community, covering ownership, use restrictions, maintenance duties, and the association's powers.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures) and must maintain it, including appliances, interior surfaces, and window panes. The association maintains all common property, including the building exterior, parking lot, and common halls.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only; no transient hotel or commercial use is allowed. No immoral, offensive, or unlawful use, and no nuisances that disturb other owners.
• Alterations & exterior changes: You need written association consent for any structural modification, exterior changes (painting, antennas, awnings, etc.), or changes to common areas. Window air conditioners are allowed only on side and rear faces, not the front.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies assessments to cover common expenses, including insurance and maintenance. Assessments are uniform and based on your unit's undivided interest in common property. You must pay them; failure can lead to interest, attorney's fees, and a lien on your unit.
• Insurance: The association carries casualty and liability insurance on the building and common areas, paid for by assessments. You must maintain your own personal liability insurance of at least $100,000 per occurrence.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing terms or require association approval for leases, but all leases are subject to the declaration and association rules. The association can require a statement of assessment status for proposed leases.
• Pets: The declaration does not mention pets, so no specific pet rules are included in this document.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the association's bylaws or rules and regulations, which are referenced but not provided. It also lacks specific fee amounts, pet policies, or rental restrictions—those may be in other documents.
