I live in subdivision that has an HOA. The policy clearly states that you cannot rent your home. Recently several homes have been purchased in my subdivision for rentals. What can I do? How can I see that our HOA policy is enforced. Note: I'm not sure an actual "board" exists. Our dues go to a PO box in another city. I've asked for a contact and never given one. I only have the name of someone who sells these homes out of the model home. Any advice would be very helpful! Thank you!

First,
If you don't know if a membership board is in "power" than you may be under "declarant" (developer) control.
The fact a sales person in the model home is your contact is concerning in that regard. The developer may still be in control and in that case MAY be able to change the rental rule or any rule at any time and from the sound of things possibly without you yet knowing.

Find out WHO is in control of you HOA!

Next,
You need to be clear on EXACTLY what the CURRENT policy says about rentals.
MAYBE it has changed.

Worry about "...that our HOA policy is enforced." after you are sure what the policy is and who the "enforcer" is!
