Overview
Declares that a condominium association (Association) may not prohibit a unit owner from
interior decorations including improvements that may disturb adjacent unit occupants.
History
A condominium is real estate where portions are designated for separate ownership and the
remainder is designated for common ownership solely by the owners of the separate portions
(A.R.S. § 33-1202).
Current statute allows the owner of a condominium unit to make any improvements or
alterations to the unit that do not impair the mechanical systems or structural integrity or
lessen the support of any part of the condominium. The unit owner is prohibited from making
any changes to the appearance of the common elements or the exterior appearance of the unit
without written permission of the Association (A.R.S. § 33-1221).
Provisions
1. Stipulates that an Association may not prohibit a unit owner from:
a) altering or improving the interior of the unit in a manner that may disturb adjacent
unit occupants if the unit owner purchases and installs any reasonably necessary
materials, accessories or other adjustments that eliminate or minimize the potential
disturbance; and
b) using any type of decoration on the interior of the unit. (Sec. 1)
2. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1)
