P - Can't speak to the specifics of a CYV. But with the Patio Villa we're buying, the full space (on one side) of your house is all yours to use as you see fit (and as that fits the covenants/rules) even though half of it legally is the other house's property. The reverse holds true on the other side of your house. Landscaping, sprinklers, mowing, etc. is the responsibility of the one property owner who has the use of the entire space. Works out nice to have use of the full space, though it's only on just the one side.
If someone doesn't have a copy of their deed restrictions (or if you'd want to see them for a property you're considering), go to
www.districtgov.org , click "How do I?" at the top, click on "Download My Deed Restrictions" at the end of the drop-down list, then click on the particular District unit/villa. These will give you all the particulars about the usage. Hope that helps!
