HOA Short-Term Rentals

Andres Andrade

Posted

Hello all,

My wife and I closed on our first property March 2021. We live in the property, but we want to list 2 of our rooms on Airbnb. We have been renovating the extra rooms and getting them ready to list. However, I am very worried as I just received our HOA's CC&R's and this is what one of the sections states:

Do you think we can still proceed with listing our rooms or will this be a big no no?

Section 6. Use of Lots.

Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this

Declaration, each Residential Unit shall be used for single family residential purposes and not as a boarding house or other arrangement for the rental of individual rooms. Any lease of a Lot or Residential Unit shall be in writing, shall state that it is subject to this Declaration and the Bylaws and rules and regulations of the Association and that a breach thereof shall be a default of the

such lease, and shall not he for a period of less than thirty (30) days, With the exception of family day care on any Lot so designated by the Declarant and the use of Lots as models and

sales centers by Builders, no trade or business of any kind may be conducted on a Lot. Lease or rental of a Lot or Residential Unit for residential purposes shall not be considered to be a

violation of this covenant, so long as the lease is in compliance with reasonable rules and regulations as the Board of Directors may promulgate. Any lessee or tenant shall in all respects be subject to the terms and conditions of this Declaration, the By-laws, and the rules and regulations adopted hereunder.

Thank you all in advance, any and all input and advise is greatly appreciated. The rooms are furnished and we have spent some good money getting this ready including getting a permit from the city. Thank you

IMO, you don't need to go any further than this verbiage here.

I wouldn't try to skirt around this, too easy to get caught and then you'll be paying penalties....
