Hillside Condominiums

What Hillside Condominiums's governing documents say

Hillside Condominiums is a small condominium community in Raleigh, NC, consisting of a single duplex building with two units. You own your unit and an undivided share of the common property, and the association manages common areas and enforces the rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings) and are responsible for maintaining all appliances, interior surfaces, doors, window frames, and screens. The association maintains all common property, including water and sewer lines outside public easements, and repairs incidental damage to units caused by its work.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your unit, but only the entire unit (no partial leases), and any lease must be in writing, for a term of at least 30 days, and must state that it is subject to the declaration. Tenants must comply with the rules.
• Pets: The document does not mention any pet restrictions, so no specific pet rules are stated here.
• Architectural review: You must get written association approval before making any structural modifications to your unit, changing the exterior appearance (including painting, antennas, or anything protruding through walls or roof), or altering common property or limited common areas (like fences or landscaping). Storm windows, doors, and patio awnings are allowed but need prior approval of style and materials.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies assessments on all unit owners, payable monthly or as the board decides. Assessments are uniform and based on your undivided interest in common property. The board sets an annual budget, and increases above the Consumer Price Index require majority owner approval. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and can lead to a lien on your unit.
• Insurance: The association carries casualty and liability insurance on the buildings and common property, paid as a common expense. You must carry your own personal liability insurance of at least $100,000 per occurrence, and you're responsible for insuring your personal property and unit improvements.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. You can't do anything that creates a nuisance, interferes with other owners' rights, or increases insurance rates. All use must comply with Raleigh City Code.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is the declaration of condominium but does not include the full bylaws or articles of incorporation (referenced as exhibits), nor does it specify pet rules, parking details beyond two spaces per unit, or any age restrictions.
