Kensington Gardens Lakewood

What Kensington Gardens Lakewood's governing documents say

Kensington Court is a 12-unit condominium community in Dallas, TX — you own your unit (including some exterior elements like garages and decks) and share ownership of the common elements, which the association maintains and insures, funded by assessments. This Declaration of Condominium, governed by the Texas Uniform Condominium Act, creates the association and sets the rules for owners and residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit plus attached garages, decks, balconies, and certain structural components (e.g., wall cavities, windows, doors). The association maintains the common elements (e.g., foundations, roofs, shared spaces). Units include 1/12th undivided interest in common elements.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies Regular, Special, Utility, Individual, and Deficiency Assessments. Regular assessments are due monthly; late fees and interest up to 18% apply. The association can foreclose its assessment lien (superior to most other liens except property taxes and first mortgages) for nonpayment.
• Voting & governance: Each unit has one equal vote. The Declarant (developer) controls the association for up to 3 years or until 75% of units are sold to non-declarant owners. After that, owners elect the board. Assessment increases over 30 days require majority owner disapproval to block.
• Architectural review: All exterior alterations, construction, or improvements require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC can grant variances.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. The declaration covers animals, noise, signs, vehicles, window treatments, and other nuisances. Specific rules (e.g., pet limits) are not in this excerpt, but the association may adopt additional rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Article 11 addresses unit leasing, but the supplied text does not include specific lease term minimums or owner-occupancy requirements. Refer to the full document for lease conditions.
• Maintenance boundaries: The association maintains common elements; owners maintain their units (including garages, decks, and interior). Owners grant maintenance easements to the association for access.
• Insurance: The association carries master property and liability insurance. Owners are responsible for their own personal property and additional coverage. Insurance deductibles may be charged to the responsible owner.
