HOA restrictions?

[Isabel4203]

Has anyone had to deal with HOA restrictions? My place is within a CONDO governed by an HOA.

If you use the search function here @Isabel4203  you will see quite a few US hosts talk about HOAs

I believe increasingly they're banning STR businesses .

what did you want to find out ?

@Isabel4203  As a former resident of PWC, VA living within an HOA community, I assure you that your HOA restrictions will be upheld by the local courts and zoning.  Therefore, if your documents state that you cannot run a business from your condo, rent your property to tenants for less than a year, or any other language to that effect, you will not be able to have paying guests from AirBnB or any other OTA.

Best wishes.

Be part of the HOA Board to help it make good, well informed decisions. Also help other short term renters deal with HOA rules to make it work for everyone.
