I want to see if the way I am interpreting the rules of my HoA makes sense regarding renting.According to the covenants: (a) no owner may lease less than his entire Lot; except as otherwise herein provided(b) all leases must be in writing(c) all leases shall provide that the terms of the lease and lessee's occupancy of the lot shall be subject in all respects to the provision in the Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, and these rules of the Association.
