Ridgmar Estates

What Ridgmar Estates's governing documents say

Ridgmar West is a 52-unit condominium community in Fort Worth, TX, established in 1972. You own your individual apartment and an undivided share of the common elements, which are maintained by the Ridgmar West Association. This document is the full rulebook for owners and residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your apartment interior (walls in) and an undivided interest in general common elements (land, foundations, roofs, halls, recreational facilities, utilities) and limited common elements (assigned parking spaces). You are responsible for interior repairs, floor coverings, appliances, and any damage caused by you or your guests.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your apartment for single-family residential purposes, but the Association has a right of first refusal: you must give written notice with proposed terms, and the Association can match the offer within 30 days. No minimum lease term is stated, but rooms may not be rented and transient tenants are prohibited.
• Pets: Only household pets are allowed. No more than one pet may be kept without written permission from the Board. Pets must not be obnoxious (noise, odor, unsanitary) and must not run loose on common elements. Dangerous animals are prohibited.
• Alterations & appearance: No structural alterations or exterior modifications (antennas, awnings, window materials) may be made without written Association approval. Signs visible from outside, including 'For Sale' signs, are prohibited without permission.
• Insurance requirements: The Association carries master property and liability insurance. Each owner must also carry personal property insurance and comprehensive personal liability insurance with a minimum of $100,000 per occurrence.
• Assessments & fees: Annual budgets are set by the Board; assessments are based on each unit's percentage of value (ranging from 1.800% to 2.254%). Special assessments exceeding the budget require approval of 75% of all owners. Delinquent assessments bear 10% annual interest.
• Right of first refusal: Before selling or leasing your unit, you must notify the Association in writing. The Association has 30 days to either approve the transaction or find a substitute buyer/lessee on the same terms. If it fails to act, the transaction is deemed approved.
• Use restrictions: Units may only be used as single-family residences. No immoral, unlawful, or nuisance activities are allowed. Common elements may not be used for storage, drying clothes, or obstruction. The Board may regulate parking, pool, and recreational areas.
