Rental homes in Community

BonnieC,

I’m new to the HOA discussion scene. I don’t have much advice to give. I think if you supply us with some details pertaining to your particular situation, many of the members of HOATalk will be able to help you out.

Where do you reside at?

Are you self managed?

I’m not sure if your state will allow you to “opt” into POA. I’m now familiarizing myself with POAs (here in Georgia). I’ve learned from many of the posts on this discussion board, that it was available. “Opt” into a POA from an HOA will limit the % of rental properties as well as some other benefits to your community.

Best of luck,
Chuck W.

Gerald is correct. Who knows if down the road they might have to rent their home out. What about existing rentals? Would you allow those three to continue as rentals but deny others that right? So who would vote to contain rentals if you will grandfather in just those already renting? (And if containing rentals is not already in your documents, it would need to be approved by the required percent of your members - this is not something the board can implement.)
Actually your contract is with the owner, and you should already have all the tools in your CC&Rs to police the property via the owner.
We have rentals here that no one but immediate neighbors knows are rentals. The owner hires a landscaper to maintain the property - actually better than some neighboring properties. (I assume the cost is tacked onto the rent). Any parking, etc infractions are relayed to the owner to comply or be fined. Owners will not absorb much of that before taking action. Be sure tho, that you are not selectively enforcing your documents against rentals that you aren't enforcing against other homeowners. Harold

Our association is now a year under HO control, so we are still new at this HO stuff but thanks to this forum I am learning every day. We have a TH community (77 units) and I would say we have at least 50% renters. We have NO renter policies and would like very much to add these to our R&R's. How could we go about doing this at this time. Our BOD's do not even know which houses are rented. We also don't know the names of any renter. Is is possible that we can add these policies at this late a date and how would we go about it. How would an association get the authority to evictions.....I would sure like that power, I have renter on each side of my unit, one is the couple w/the sign(s) in the yard, the yard full of cigarette butts and a large commerical vehicle that is parked across the driveway half the time....Did I mention the President lives across the street. We really need help w/these rental problems.
