Residence of Museum Place

What Residence of Museum Place's governing documents say

Residences of Museum Place is a condominium community in Fort Worth, TX — you own your unit and share the building's common elements. This document is a supplemental leasing policy that adds specific rules for renting out units, beyond what the main declaration says. It binds all unit owners and tenants.

• Lease term & type: Leases must be for at least six months — shorter terms are considered transient/hotel use and are banned. Only entire units may be leased (no room rentals), and each lease must be in writing.
• Lease frequency & cap: No unit may be leased more than twice in any 12-month period without board permission. At any one time, no more than 10 units in the community may be leased (excluding units occupied by the owner's immediate family).
• Occupancy & background: Occupancy is limited to two persons per bedroom. Tenants convicted of a felony are prohibited; owners must have each tenant sign a notarized non-felony statement. The association may run a criminal background check at the owner's expense (actual cost plus $25 admin fee).
• Permit process: A written Leasing Permit from the board is required before any lease begins. Requests are processed first-come, first-served; the board must approve or deny within 10 business days, or the request is denied. Copies of leases must be provided to the board.
• Fines & enforcement: Violations (except the felony rule) can result in an initial fine up to $200 and $200 per week until fixed. For a felony tenant, the owner must start eviction within 14 days or face $200 weekly fines. Fines become a lien on the unit.
• Grandfathering: Units that were already leased or vacant on the policy's effective date are grandfathered (exempt from the 10-unit cap and permit process) until the unit is sold. Owners must request a grandfathered permit within 60 days or lose the exemption.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only the leasing policy amendment — it does not contain the full condominium declaration, bylaws, or other rules about pets, parking, common area use, or maintenance responsibilities. Those are found in the main governing documents.
