Lakewood Addition Homeowners Association

What Lakewood Addition Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a condominium community in Dallas, Texas, governed by a Declaration and Master Deed. It establishes a condominium regime where you own your unit and share ownership of common elements, managed by a homeowners association. The document is a restatement and amendment, so it's the primary rulebook for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (from interior surfaces of walls, floors, ceilings) and an undivided interest in the common elements (land, buildings, grounds, pools, etc.). The association maintains common elements, but you're responsible for repairs caused by your negligence or misuse.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay regular monthly assessments and may be subject to special assessments for capital improvements or unexpected expenses. Assessments are based on your unit's common interest and are secured by a lien on your unit; failure to pay can lead to foreclosure.
• Leasing & rentals: Units can be rented, but leases must be in writing, for the entire unit, and for a term of at least 60 days (no transient or hotel use). Leases must comply with the declaration and rules.
• Pets: Animals are generally prohibited unless permitted by the bylaws or rules adopted by the board. The declaration itself doesn't specify a pet limit.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration or improvement (fences, patios, etc.) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. The committee must respond within 60 days, or approval is deemed granted.
• Parking & vehicles: No trailers, campers, commercial vehicles, or inoperable cars may remain on the property except in designated areas. Standard pickup trucks used for business and personal use are allowed if signs are unobtrusive.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only; no businesses or nuisances that interfere with quiet enjoyment are allowed. No signs (like 'for sale') may be displayed by owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document doesn't specify the exact monthly assessment amount, pet limits, or age restrictions. It also doesn't include the full bylaws or rules and regulations, which are referenced but not included here.
