STRs and MTRs in condos in the Bay Area

[Priti Ag]

Hi All - I know that in general it is a good idea to avoid HOAs for STR/MTR rentals. In the Bay Area, most HOAs actively restrict less-than 30 days rentals in CC&Rs, and can have % rental caps on units which may make MTRs difficult.

Has anyone been in a situation where they acquired a condo and operated it as an STR when the HOA did not make the exclusion in their CC&Rs, but then faced resistance from the HOA? What did you do in that situation?
