Short Term Rental HOA bias setting up restriction
Hey all! I've been airbnbing my carriage house attached to our house - its a studio and simple and has done very well. We just got a letter from HOA going to our entire community posing a vote to restrict short term rentals - see photo of "important input from other communities " - the letter is totally biased. I'm outraged because our guests are always respectful and quiet and in town for things like friends, graduation, babies being born...and are so clean and quiet. This vote is not objective because the HOA themselves have this view! We are in a quiet suburb in Colorado amongst professionals and are always home when they stay in this attached studio with separate entrance and this has never been our experience!! I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to fix the damage of this letter for the vote. Unbelievably we came home to this letter with an attorney drafted amendment and voting page with a deadline of two weeks from now. Literally i don't think i have any options to reach out to my neighbors and affect their vote in time. I feel totally blind sided and have not had any complaints nor a chance to respond to this. We emailed the community manager about this letter and he stated that he himself has these concerns, basically admitting this is not factual and bias in his own email. I don't know if there is anything we can do.
