Real Estate Vocabulary: Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC & Rs)

First the preamble: Even though I am an attorney, the following is NOT intended to serve as anything other than general information. I am NOT engaged in rendering legal, accounting, or any other professional advice. If expert assistance is needed, the services of a competent professional should be sought. This post is NOT a substitute for legal or any other kind of professional advice.

A-okay. Now, on to today's real estate vocabulary term: Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (also called "CC & Rs).

CC & Rs are the rules filed by many common interest developers (such as condominium and co-op developers) that must be followed by anyone buying a unit in the building. These rules typically involve restrictions to regulate the use and appearance of the building. An example of a CC & R would be a rule prohibiting the installation of satellite television dishes. The CC & Rs are the sorts of things that any prospective buyer needs to understand because they dictate how the property can and cannot be used.

    Hello there! I'm so happy you stopped by. Thank you so much for your kind words and good wishes. I'm clueless when it comes to "tech" stuff. For some (as of yet) unknown reason, this blog only seems to come up for me when I type the address in the following manner:

    http://muslimbushido.blogspot.com

    I don't know what that's about. Yet. I hope that people can please bear with me while I learn more about how to operate the Blogger system. I'll eventually get up to speed, and have these speedbumps straightened out.

    Peace and blessings,
    Khadija

Please understand that this is not a free speech zone. Profanity and hate speech are not welcome and will not be posted. This blog seeks to foster a courteous, reasoned exchange of ideas. I would ask that before posting, everyone (myself included) seriously consider whether the proposed comment helps or hurts the cause of opposing the ruinous traits listed on the masthead.

Please feel free to add your input to any post at any time. There's no "expiration date" for the issues that are discussed here. I welcome, value, and learn from your contribution! Thank you in advance for your cooperation and your input.
