What Bedford Commons Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Bedford Commons is a single-family home subdivision in Raleigh, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) that is part of the larger Bedford at Falls River master-planned community. This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that binds all property owners in Bedford Commons, and it covers rules on property use, maintenance, architectural review, and HOA governance.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the townhome dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common areas, exterior building surfaces (except doors and windows), original landscaping, and fences on rear portions. You are responsible for everything else, including doors, windows, decks, driveways, and interior systems.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, landscaping, or construction must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before starting. The ARC can approve, condition, or deny applications based on aesthetics, and approvals expire if work doesn't start within one year.
• Leasing & rentals: The HOA may require a minimum lease term of up to 12 months, and leases must include a provision that tenants are bound by the governing documents. The HOA cannot prohibit leasing or charge excessive fees.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments to cover common expenses, and can levy special assessments for unexpected costs. If you don't pay, the HOA can place a lien on your property and charge interest.
• Rules & enforcement: The HOA board can adopt and change rules about use and conduct, but rules must treat similar owners alike and cannot interfere with activities inside your home unless they create noise, danger, or unsightly conditions. The HOA can enforce rules and fine or take legal action for violations.
• Insurance: You must carry 'all-risk' property insurance on your unit's improvements, naming the HOA as an additional insured. If you fail to provide proof, the HOA can buy insurance and charge you for it.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include specific fee amounts, pet rules, parking rules, or age restrictions. Those may be in the attached Use Restrictions and Rules (Exhibit C) or other governing documents.
