How do you know if your city or subdivision allow STR

[Joe S.]

If there is not something in the HOA bylaws against short term rentals is it safe to do a short term rental in that subdivision or I should I called the HOA and ask? I've known one particular HOA where the person that was over the HOA was death against short term rentals, but there was nothing in the HOA bylaws stating that they were disallowed. They went so far as to hold special meetings trying to get the other residents to past new HOA rules. A person like that if asked if HOA was was allowed might say no even If it wasn't disallowed in the bylaws. Your thoughts on that please.

Also I am looking to do a short term rental in a town called Converse Texas at the moment. Does anyone know the process of dealing with Converse Texas? Am I supposed to call a certain department of the city etc.?
