What Riparian Villas at the Cape's governing documents say
Riparian Villas at The Cape is a condominium community in Wilmington, NC — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains the common areas and carries master insurance. This document is the Declaration of Condominium, which establishes the legal framework for the community.
- What you own & maintain: You own the interior surfaces of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings) and interior partitions. The association maintains the common elements, including perimeter walls, pipes, wires, and utility lines serving more than one unit. Balconies, decks, and patios are appurtenant to specific units for exclusive use.
- Leasing & rentals: The document does not set a minimum lease term. However, the Developer may rent unsold units on any basis. All occupants, including renters, must comply with the Declaration, Bylaws, and rules.
- Pets: Unit owners may keep pets as long as they do not constitute a nuisance or unreasonably interfere with other owners' quiet enjoyment. No specific limit on number or type is stated.
- Parking & vehicles: Common elements include parking areas. Each unit is entitled to at least one designated parking space, subject to association regulations.
- Assessments & fees: The association may levy assessments for common expenses. Unpaid assessments create a lien on the unit, securing reasonable attorneys' fees for collection.

- Insurance & casualty: The association must carry casualty insurance on buildings and improvements at 100% replacement value, including flood insurance. Proceeds are held by an Insurance Trustee. If 2/3 or more of units are rendered untenantable, reconstruction may be waived by 3/4 of unit owners.
