What Are CC&Rs?

If you’re buying a condo for sale in DTLA, you’ll have to be part of a condo owners’ association – and condo owners’ associations have rules, called CC&Rs, that you have to follow.

CC&Rs, short for covenants, conditions, and restrictions, are rules that you have to abide by when you live in a condo building. Every association has its own CC&Rs, but generally, they’re in place to protect home values and govern residents’ conduct while they’re in the building.

Common CC&Rs

Common rules and restrictions condo owners’ associations put in place often involve:

The types and sizes of pets you’re allowed to have
The types of décor, if any, you can use on your front door
Where you can park, and what types of vehicles belong where
Whether you can rent out your unit
Quiet hours, if there are any

You’ll have to talk to your Realtor® about a building’s CC&Rs when you find a condo you’re interested in buying. You should read them thoroughly before you make an offer on the home – the last thing you want is to buy a condo that’s part of an association whose rules you can’t live with.
