I did about two years ago, the complaint was acknowledged as legitimate and it was confirmed that two deed restrictions were being violated. However, lots of excuses then followed about the complexities and difficulties of enforcing internal deed restrictions and ultimately nothing was done. So yes, the powers that be absolutely do pick and choose which deed restrictions to enforce and which to ignore. Fortunately, the woman who was running the extremely disruptive Airbnb in our neighborhood moved away, much to the delight of everyone living in the vicinity.

Having seen and experienced first hand how much it sucks to live close to a poorly run Airbnb operation, I sincerely wish the deed restrictions violated would be strictly enforced and truly feel sorry for fellow Villagers that have the unfortunate luck of living close to one. That’s not what people signed up for when purchasing a home in a deed restricted community.
