Williams Condominiums

What Williams Condominiums's governing documents say

This is the declaration of condominium for Williams Condominiums, a two-unit duplex in Raleigh, NC. It establishes the condominium regime and governs the rights and responsibilities of the two unit owners, including their shared ownership of common areas and the association that manages the property.

• What you own & maintain: Each unit owner owns their individual dwelling unit (defined as the interior surfaces of walls, floors, and ceilings) and an undivided interest in the common property. Owners are responsible for maintaining their unit's interior, appliances, and heating/cooling equipment, while the association maintains the common property and exterior surfaces (except doors and window frames, which are owner-maintained).
• Leasing & rentals: Units are restricted to residential use, and owners may only lease the entire unit (not a portion). Leases must be in writing, for a term of at least 30 days, and must include a provision that the lease is subject to the declaration.
• Alterations & approvals: Owners must obtain written association consent before making structural modifications, changing the exterior appearance (including painting, antennas, or protruding objects), or attaching anything to common or limited common areas (like fences or landscaping). Storm windows, doors, awnings, and enclosures are allowed but require prior approval of style and materials.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies assessments on unit owners to cover common expenses, including maintenance, insurance, and reserves. Assessments are uniform and based on each unit's undivided interest in common property. They are payable monthly or as determined by the board. Increases above the Consumer Price Index require majority owner approval. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and can result in a lien on the unit.
• Insurance: The association maintains master casualty and liability insurance on the buildings and common property, with premiums paid as common expenses. Each unit owner must carry personal liability insurance of at least $100,000 per occurrence and may insure their own unit and personal property.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: Units must be used for lawful residential purposes only. Owners cannot create nuisances, make unreasonable noise, or engage in activities that increase insurance rates or interfere with other owners' rights.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or the specific percentage interests (Exhibit B). It also does not address pet policies, parking rules, or rental caps beyond the minimum lease term.
