Definition
Any CC&R provision limiting an owner's ability to lease their property — from minimum lease terms to outright bans.
Rental restrictions are governing-document provisions limiting how owners may lease their homes. They range from minimum lease terms and tenant approval requirements to rental caps and, in some communities, near-total bans.
These restrictions aim to protect community stability and property values, but they must be validly adopted and applied, and they can be limited by state law. Because rental rights are a sensitive, litigated area, boards should confirm any restriction is properly grounded in the documents and enforceable.
