What Cottagesatwhitaker's governing documents say

This is the declaration for The Cottages at Whitaker, a condominium community in Raleigh, NC, governed by the North Carolina Condominium Act. It establishes the legal framework for owning a unit, including shared ownership of common elements, association governance, and use restrictions. This document is the foundational rulebook for unit owners, prospective buyers, and renters.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior and are responsible for its maintenance, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and appliances. The association maintains common elements like roofs, exterior painting, and common areas. Limited common elements (e.g., balconies, exterior doors, windows) are maintained by the unit owner unless the board decides otherwise.
• Leasing & rentals: Unit owners may lease their unit, but all leases must be in writing, must state that they are subject to the declaration and rules, and must be filed with the association. There is no minimum lease term specified in this document.
• Pets: A maximum of two dogs, cats, pet birds, or other household pets are allowed per unit, provided they are not kept for commercial purposes and are not a nuisance.
• Architectural review: Exterior changes, including painting, antennas, window air conditioners, and any alterations to common elements, require prior written approval from the association. Interior alterations that don't affect structural integrity or mechanical systems generally don't need approval.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: Units must be used for lawful purposes, and no activity that creates a nuisance, interferes with other owners' enjoyment, or increases insurance rates is allowed. All zoning laws must be observed.
• Assessments & common expenses: The association levies assessments to cover common expenses, including maintenance, insurance, and utilities. Special assessments may be levied for improvements benefiting specific units. Failure to pay can result in a lien on the unit.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific assessment amounts, pet size/breed restrictions, parking rules, or detailed rental application procedures. Those may be in the association's bylaws or rules and regulations.
