Agree, there are deed restrictions about running a business from your home. This is unfortunately an internal deed restriction issue so Community Standards department is powerless to enforce. It takes a resident challenging the developer to enforce the deed restriction (possibly in court) to correct this.

Personally, I’m totally against the entire rental idea anymore. Our CYV community has had a lot of renters over the years and most have been great people and many we still call friends. Unfortunately, we’ve had our share of “resorts guest” renters and a few were just jerks that have ruined my opinion of the whole rental idea. One long term renter currently in our neighborhood let’s thei dog run loose in the morning to do their business in neighboring yards. Time for her to go!

The abnb thing is a BAD deal for the residents a whole. I’m sure there’s good renters here through abnb but it’s not the community we agreed to. Too few have ruined a good thing for too many.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
