Apparently, you did not read the bill. It addresses occupancy, two per room. It also requires someone to be available 24 hours to handle complaints. It seems the folks in Tallahasee see things differently than you.

The developer cannot do a thing to stop strs. Again, this is a free enterprise state. The developer, like all Florida residents, must abide by state law. Fenney once had a clause that disallowed rentals. It has since been removed. Either the Developer does not want to get entrenched in controlling strs or someone pursued legal action and he was forced to remove the clause. A clause in a deed restriction is enforceable ONLY IF it adheres to the laws of the government.

Our state says strs are legal. Nothing anyone can do to stop them.
Wrong.

- Some counties do still have restrictions on which homes can be used as STRs.
- The State has considered restricting STRs but has chosen not to.
- More counties would like to restrict STRs but the state will not allow them to.
- The Developer has in the past (and continues as far as I know) restricted any rentals in certain areas.
