Don't know how the statute might apply to deed restrictions on homes that are not yet built. It certainly seems to apply to any attempt to affect rentals.

On the other hand, this discussion is moot if no one attempts to enforce a restriction. If the Developer cannot or will not and if no homeowner attempts to then effectively there are no restrictions against rentals.
