He specifically acknowledged that a homeowner who rents their home out short term, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY LIVING IN THE HOME, is violating both of those restrictions. The key is the landlord has to be simultaneously living in the home to be violating those two deed restrictions. A landlord not living in the home is free to rent by the night without being in violation of any deed restrictions.

Not "type of unit" but unit number - essentially the neighborhood. The restrictions aren't for CDD 10 and there aren't separate restrictions for patio villas and courtyard villas and designer homes and premium homes. The restrictions are for neighborhoods or areas that were developed together. While I haven't checked, I suspect that there is a separate deed restriction document for each are with a separate bond assessment schedule.
The very specific language in my deed restrictions concerning not running business from a home specifies that you cannot run a business that requires maintaining inventory or customer visits. As I have argued in many past threads, providing a bed and a table is not "maintaining inventory" and the occupant of the home is not a visiting customer. (perhaps I am wrong but it will take a successful court case to show that)
As for "single family," be very careful what you are pushing there. I have had several overnight guests who are not part of my family. I haven't looked into what the law says about the difference between an overnight guest, a longer-term guest, and a second family occupying the home. Be careful you don't argue for a restriction that prohibits you from hosting your friends from back home or a non-married significant other.
