What Sweetbriar Condominium's governing documents say
Sweetbriar Condominium is a 48-unit condominium community in Raleigh, NC, created in 1985. You own your unit (including interior fixtures and appliances) and share ownership of the common areas, which the association maintains and insures. This document is the full declaration of condominium, so it covers the rules and obligations for all unit owners.
- What you own & maintain: You own the space within your unit's walls, including the sheetrock, windows, doors, and all fixtures, equipment, and appliances inside (e.g., hot water heater, HVAC). The association maintains all common areas, including exterior stairways, decks, and the exterior surface of entry doors. You are responsible for maintaining your unit's interior and any HVAC equipment serving only your unit.
- Assessments & fees: You must pay monthly assessments set by the board to cover common expenses (maintenance, insurance, utilities, reserves). A working capital fund equal to at least two months of the annual assessment is collected at the time of purchase. Special assessments for capital improvements are limited to $100 per unit per year unless approved by a majority of owners.
- Leasing & rentals: The declaration includes a section on sale or leasing of units, but the excerpt does not specify any minimum lease term or other rental restrictions. Check the full declaration for details.
- Pets: The declaration includes a section on pets, but the excerpt does not specify any pet limits or restrictions. Check the full declaration for details.
- Architectural review: Changes to the exterior of your unit or common areas require approval from the association. The declaration includes a section on architectural control, but the excerpt does not detail the process.
- Use restrictions: Units must be used for residential purposes only. Business activities, signs, and nuisances are restricted. The declaration also covers lighting, antennas, motor vehicles, and exterior appearance.
- Amenities: The association has a lease (the Amenities Lease) giving occupants the right to use a tennis court, swimming pool, and clubhouse, but that lease expires in 1988 (with a possible two-year extension). No arrangements have been made for these amenities after that date.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is the declaration of condominium but is truncated; it does not include the full text of the bylaws, articles of incorporation, or the actual rules and regulations. Some sections (like pets and leasing) are listed but not detailed in the excerpt.
