Nevada Revised Statutes 117.060 – Declaration of restrictions
The owner of a project may, prior to the conveyance of any condominium therein, record a declaration of restrictions relating to such project, which restrictions shall be enforceable equitable servitudes where reasonable. Such servitudes, unless otherwise provided, may be enforced, by any owner of a condominium in the project, and may provide, among other things:
Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 117.060
- Common areas: means the entire project excepting all units therein granted or reserved. See Nevada Revised Statutes 117.010
- Condominium: means an estate in real property consisting of an undivided interest in common in portions of a parcel of real property together with:
(a) A separate interest in space in a residential, industrial or commercial building or industrial and commercial building on such real property, such as, but not restricted to, an apartment, office or store; or
(b) A separate interest in air space only, without any building or structure, to be used for a mobile home. See Nevada Revised Statutes 117.010
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
- Project: means the entire parcel of real property divided or to be divided into condominiums, including all structures thereon. See Nevada Revised Statutes 117.010
- Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
- Unit: means the elements of a condominium which are not owned in common with the owners of other condominiums in the project. See Nevada Revised Statutes 117.010
