The Legislature can adopt Laws. They've adopted a Law that says communities/counties cannot pass regulations or ordinances that prohibit STR's.

Developers can write deed restrictions, covenants & rules. Some of which can be enforced, others that may be superseded by legislation at some point or certainly challenged as to their propriety.

I'm not sure there are any "No Rental" regulations, anywhere in TV, but different neighborhoods have different restrictions, so it's certainly possible. I know my Deed doesn't contain anything that would prevent rental use. My opinion for what it's worth, is that the "No Business" clause in my Deed, as well as the underlying Residential Zoning prohibits use an STR.
