Brownstone Village Homeowners Association Inc

What Brownstone Village Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is an amendment to the protective covenants for Brownstone Village, a homeowners association (HOA) in Garner, NC. It specifically updates the rules about leasing homes in the community, so it's a partial document that focuses on rental restrictions rather than the full set of HOA rules.

• Leasing cap: No more than 20% of the dwellings in Brownstone Village can be leased at any one time, unless a hardship or special permit is granted.
• Leasing permits: Before renting out a home, owners must apply in writing to the HOA board for a leasing permit. If the cap is already met, the owner goes on a waiting list and gets a permit when one becomes available.
• Hardship permits: The board can allow a rental even if the 20% cap is exceeded, but only under demonstrated hardship conditions. These permits last no more than one year and are not guaranteed to be renewed.
• Special permits for long-term owners: Owners who have lived in their home for at least five years can request a special permit to rent even if the 20% cap is met, as long as the total number of leased homes does not exceed 25%.
• Lease terms and requirements: All leases must be in writing and last at least one year. The lease must include the HOA rules, and the owner must give the tenant a copy of the governing documents and file the lease with the board within 30 days of signing.
• Transient rentals prohibited: Short-term or hotel-style rentals are not allowed. Owners can only lease the entire dwelling, not just a room or portion of it.
• Grandfathering: Homes that were already leased when this amendment was recorded can continue to be rented until the owner sells the home or decides to stop renting, after which the leasing cap applies.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only an amendment about leasing rules. It does not cover other HOA topics like maintenance responsibilities, architectural review, parking, pets, or assessments.
