There is a law that is going through the legislature in Florida that will allow HOA communities to ban all vacation rental ie all Airbnb rentals of less than six months starting from July 1st, 2021. The proposed law is SB 630 (Senate Bill 630) which got a unanimous vote in the senate and is about to receive a unanimous vote in the house HB 665 (House Bill 665). If this will not be stopped everyone how rents out their homes in an HOA community will have to stop renting out their property starting from July 1, 2021 if the HOA decides to not allow Airbnb. There will NOT be a grandfathering provision for vacation rentals, only for rentals that are 6 months or longer and the homeowner can only rent out their home a maximum three times a year.
See language of the bill attached:
