Not exactly. Yes, There are places that restrict strs through their deed restrictions. Most people in these communities do not challenge and are happy to follow. But, all it takes is one individual who is willing to seek legal action on ANY clause they believe is unlawful. Sometimes, a person does just that and the only people privy to the legal action are the lawyers, person contesting, and developer.
It is similar to signs posted in some areas. Beware! Look for trippng hazards, or something similar. They then try to avoid paying out when someone does indeed fall and is injured. The person injured can easily get a lawyer and have their medical bills paid.
You can write whatever you want. It doesn't mean it is legal. I believe the Developer removed the no rental clause in Fenney because he is intelligent enough to understand this. Or, he has a great team of lawyers checking and rechecking the legality of each clause in his deed restrictions.
Why do you believe the no rental clause was removed? Just curious to hear another viewpoint. The counties you are referring to were grandfathered in when new legislation was passed. It has nothing to do with deed restrictions.To the best of my knowledge, Sumter is not one of those counties.
Many of us know the story of the white cross lawn ornament. A person MOST DEFINITELY can fight deed restrictions.
