AIRBNB Question
 

if you were a homeowner and rented out your home to someone and that tenant listed the property on AIRBNB would that be an issue? Tenant is in the house and renting out a BR. If i were the owner I would be a little leery about the tenant possibly putting cameras in the guests BR or bathroom or even possibly abusing the guest. Seems like a big risk as a homeowner.

Many, if not most rental or lease agreements specifically prohibit any subleasing without permission of the owner. This would have solved any problem you may be having. I would never rent my property without this type of clause in the contract. I think it is a standard clause in rental contracts.

Yes it is. Had many rental properties in the past and would be livid if that happened

It specifically states in my lease that a tenant may not sublease. I would evict any tenant immediately that broke the lease.

I would be very concerned if I was the homeowner. The tenant is subletting without your permission. As the homeowner you are liable if something happens and the Airbnb renter sues, not your tenant. Furthermore, if your tenant is running an Airbnb renting a room WHILE LIVING in your home, they are running a home business which violates your deed restriction. As the homeowner, it is your responsibility to have your home in compliance with deed restrictions. Your tenant is not putting you in a good position at all!

:ohdear: Have you ever looked at Airbnb in the Villages? :22yikes: and - That would be a possible "Internal deed restriction" vs an "External deed restriction."

Yes, check out the thread titled "Airbnb, good or bad?"

:ho: I have and agree with you (post#1). - I also have one near me and don't care for it.

The biggest mistake this developer has made is not restricting against rentals in any form in the deed restrictions. Renters do NOTHING to enhance the value real or perceived of the real estate in the villages.

There are currently 139 houses and 79 private rooms available for rent the week of Feb 18 listed on airbnb in The Villages.

So, what happens when the renter puts out 14 pink flamingos in the front yard, and somebody complains. The renter gets the letter of complaint and just throws it away.

I’m guessing very few short term renters are given keys to the mailboxes, so the complaint letter will likely go to the owner.

My guess would be you get a 140 post thread with half saying it's o.k.
and the complainers should mind their own business. And half saying don't break the rules you agreed to when you bought here. :coolsmiley:

Maybe 1 or 2 saying "Taste like chicken!" :icon_wink:

I live in a nice neighborhood with nice neighbors. An AB&B would be like living next to a hotel. Not a very nice thing to do to the neighbors.

I agree for the most part. But some people would not be able to carry the expense without renting.

I am not crazy about renters, although there are many wonderful people who rent here. I just think that it is a slippery slope.
