The facts of the case are very similar to our situation—the Declaration of Covenants assumed by its use of the word “tenants” that some homeowners would rent their property.In Kiekel, the court found that the HOA had no right to ban short-term rentals, because “[t]he bylaw amendment contained extensive property use restrictions concerning the rental of property. . . which only could be accomplished through an amendment to the Declaration [ofCovenants].”The SCAG notes that the “court held that the HOA could not ‘circumvent the intent of the Declaration, the enabling document, by subsequently amending the Bylaws.’ … Kiekel, therefore, stands for the rule that where the bylaws of an HOA purport to restrict the use of property further than contemplated in the covenants, there is a conflict and the covenants will control.”The opinion of the SCAG went on to declare that “the general relationship between covenants and bylaws described in Kiekel is consistent with South Carolina law.”
