AirBnb private room and HOA rules

[Derrick Lloyd]

Hi,

I live in a 2bd/2ba condo an currently rent a room to a friend.  I found out that he will be moving out in a couple months, so I am exploring different options of what to do for the second room.

One of the potentially most profitable options is to rent it out as a private room on AirBnb. The only issue with this is the HOA CC&Rs (essentially the rules).

I found one rule that applies to vacation rentals an says:

"....no owner shall rent, lease or let his unit for transient or hotel purposes.  Any lease or rental which is either for a period of less than 30 days or pursuant to which the lessor provides any services primarily associated with a hotel shall be deemed to be for transient or hotel purposes."

My understanding of this rule is at it applies to the entire unit not just a part of the unit.  I wanted to get some opinions on my analysis.
