AIR BnB’s totally suck for the residents in the neighborhood. We had a woman, who was renting long term, running a horrible operation out of the home. I contacted community standards to report she was violating two deed restrictions, running a business out of the home and not using the home as a single family residence. They agreed, but informed me it is an internal deed violation, which is enforced by the developer, not community standards. They transferred me to a representative of the developer, who also acknowledged two deed restrictions were being violated, unfortunately they looked the other way and opted not to enforce these particular violations. Apparently, enforcing these deed restrictions doesn’t sync up with maximizing the demand pool of potential home buyers for the new homes they are building as fast as they can. Makes one wonder why they have deed restrictions at all, when they choose to selectively enforce them. Talk about the fox watching the hen house.
I decided to go another route, and contacted the absentee owner of the home and explained to him what his tenant was up to and he was furious. As it turned out, she was renting month to month so he tossed her out the next month and our neighborhood is again back to normal. Happy ending until the next inconsiderate person decides to start up an AIR BnB in the neighborhood.
