2016 CC&R Vote: Short Term Rentals
During the last couple of Annual Meetings, numerous homeowners expressed concerns relating to short term home rentals (30 days or less). Concerns and incidents reported included:
Increased traffic
Noise violations
Neighborhood safety
Parking problems
Vehicle accidents
Drugs being left in the yard by short-term renters
Upon consulting with 2 separate lawyers, the suggestion was made that although our current documents attempt to identify homes in the neighborhood as being for single family use, they are too vague regarding rentals of this kind. This is largely due to short term rentals of homes not being as common when our original documents were drafted as they are today. In recent years, short term rentals have become an issue for many HOA�s throughout the country.
As was discussed recent Annual Meetings, a vote will be held to amend our current CC&R�s:
Proposal 1: Our current bylaws do not adequately discuss business limits in our neighborhood. This change will help further clarify considerate business practices in our neighborhood.
Proposal 2: More clearly defines rentals in our neighborhood and requires that home rentals be at least 30 days in duration. This bylaw amendment is being added to address Airbnb rentals and other similar types of rentals in our neighborhood.
Voting will begin on July 1. The preferred method is an online voting system (additional details will be sent out when the vote begins). Those homeowners who do not have a verified email address or have requested a paper ballot will receive a ballot in the mail. Each property is entitled to 1 vote. A non-vote counts as a no. A 51% yes vote is required to pass the measure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the HOA clarify the policy on roommates? I am supportive of owners having roommates which meet or exceed the 30day rule.
The definition of rental will include any right to use or occupy a lot in exchange for payment of rent. However, the term �rental� will not include joint ownership of a lot, or agreement between the owner and the tenant to use the entire lot jointly. The idea is to prohibit renting a portion of a lot where the owner and the tenant each have exclusive use of separate portions of the lot or dwelling
Article III, section 1 mentions single-family use. Does single family include parents and parents in-law who may come and stay with us as they grow older?
The term �single family� is somewhat of a misnomer. Legally it doesn�t mean a literal family by blood, marriage, adoption, guardianship, etc. It�s simply a classification of housing where the each building is a detached structure (as opposed to �multifamily� housing where units share a single structure). It really has nothing to do with how many actual �families� are living in a house. Our governing documents already specify that homes in our HOA are for single family residential use only. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to define and clarify rental and business practices in the neighborhood, not to alter the intended home use as currently defined.
