Our CC&RS specifically state no rentals for less than a month (even this I do not like as I feel it should be 6 months or more)..... BUT in our condos(units, not houses), there are an unknown number of individuals renting their units out by the weekend or by the week or both and even 2 weeks.

My problem is that the renters who do rent on these very short terms have no interest whatsoever in the welfare of the complex..... do not know what CC&Rs are and could not care less. Some of them are destructive and causes problems for owners who are NOT renting by the day/week/etc.

What can be done about these owners? Do not know for sure which units are involved. Is this type of renting against the Hotel association rules (or whatever you call them)? I know times are tough but individuals who bought these units fully intended to rent by the week or less.

If it's against your own (HOA) rules you fine or whatever else you can do.

If it's against local government rules you make a complaint.

The second may be your easiest (and least unpleasant) option if it exists. Towns that have hotel taxes are very interested in collecting them.

I had a neighbor who was renting from a property owner and then subleasing rooms or just space out by the month or week. Dealing with it was next to useless for a long time b/c the rental manager of the property was also the association property manager assigned to "investigate" noise disturbances from all these tenants.

It did all work out for the better but it took a year.

Our documents specifically state the units are not to be used for hotel or transient purposes. And if leased, the lease must be for at least 90 days with the agreement to abide by the rules of the association in the written lease.
Last year a couple (these were members of my church) started to move into a vacant unit until they could buy a house. The Board members at that time told them that was not allowed. When they told me, they were moving in, I did ask them if they had talked to the Board and they said our Pastor had taken care of it. They also said it was just for a short time.
The same week the Board had to quick another couple was also squatting and the Board had to kick them out.
What we do need is a written lease as so many members believe there is no renting whatsoever because of what they had been told in the past.
