We have a small starter house in Las Vegas that we are going to rent out. We have owned and lived in the house about 10 years, it has been vacant for a few months now. We take very good care of the house inside and out and will continue to do so. As we were moving out the association took notice of my trailer in the driveway and sent us a violation notice for it being in my driveway overnight, and apparently made note that we were moving.

We have continued with the upkeep and have always been current on our dues even though they are excessive and the association provides nothing whatsoever for the neighborhood.

Now they are demanding $50 for us to be able to rent our home out along with peoples names and information on the lease. Is this legal? What is the difference if we live in the home and keep up with the rules or have a renter in the house and we still take care of it? What are we getting for this fee they are trying to charge? What are they going to claim benefits this community by charging us to let someone live here that doesn't own the place? The only thing I can figure is its just more money to line there pockets since there not getting paid regularly on all the foreclosures.

Just an FYI this is a single family non attached to anything house in a neigborhood of about 400 homes.

If it says in the CC&R's (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) which you signed and agreed to be bound by or as legally amended then yes they can. If you want to know why these types of rules are in place, just search this site for rental problems.

No real rental rules to speak of in the association book that I know of, lots of rentals in there. I just cant figure out what the $50 fee is for or why they need to know any information on the renter. Association takes care of trees on the perimeter of the neighborhood and the street but ive yet to see them ever do anything with the street other then put a supposedly $9,000 20 foot rot iron gate across one exit to stop threw traffic so the streets wouldn't ware so quickly.

They don't know anything about me other then my name and the address for that house, why would they need the renters information? I get fines if they screw up, not the renter.

Well in my state the BOD is required by law in COA's to maintain that information for both the H/O and any tenants along with their contact information, we can also evict tenants and charge the cost back to the homeowner. The best thing to do would be to write a polite business letter to the BOD requesting the answers to your questions and where it is allowed in the CC&R's.
