What Mews Townhomes Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for The Mews Townhomes, a townhome community in Wake Forest, NC, governed by a homeowners association. It applies to all owners of the townhome lots and outlines their rights and obligations regarding property use, maintenance, rentals, and architectural changes.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot and dwelling, but the association maintains the common areas (streets, driveways, parking, pool, landscaping) and may also maintain portions of your lot visible from roads. You must keep your dwelling and lot in safe condition and comply with maintenance standards.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes (fences, paint, roofing, additions, etc.), you must submit plans to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) for written approval. Repainting or reroofing in accordance with approved guidelines may not require approval.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be at least 12 months, and only a maximum of 16 dwellings may be rented at any time. Owners must apply for approval to lease, provide tenants with governing documents, and obtain a criminal records check on prospective tenants. Owners remain responsible for tenant compliance.
• Pets: You may keep up to two dogs, two cats, or one of each per dwelling, plus small caged pets like hamsters or fish. Pets must be housed inside, leashed or carried in common areas, and cannot be left outside. More than two pet violations in a year can lead to forced removal of the pet.
• Parking & vehicles: Each dwelling has one assigned parking space; other parking is first-come, first-served. No commercial vehicles, trailers, boats, RVs, or inoperative vehicles may be parked overnight on streets or common areas. Temporary service/moving vehicles are allowed for up to 48 hours, and moving containers for up to 7 days.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only; home businesses are allowed only if incidental and without regular employees, customers, or clients. No time-sharing or subdivision of lots is permitted. Signs, clotheslines, and solicitations are restricted, and noxious activities or nuisances are prohibited.
• Assessments & fees: Owners must pay regular assessments (monthly, quarterly, or annually) and special assessments for capital improvements. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property, and the association can impose fines or suspend privileges for violations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the exact dollar amount of assessments, the full rules and regulations, or details about the pool and other recreational facilities. It also does not include the association's bylaws or any separate rules.
