Some will say that the renter is the customer of the AirBnB. Since there is a restriction against running a business in your home that results in customers visiting your home then it would follow that the AirBnB would be in violation.

Others will argue that there is a difference between an occupant and a visiting customer and the renter is the occupant (if only for a short time). Therefore the AirBnB would not have customers visiting and would not be in violation.

Still others will wonder whether there are State laws that prohibit local governments from restricting AirBnBs.

Running an AIRBNB, while simultaneously living in the home, violates two deed restrictions. First, residential properties are limited to single family usage. Second, running a business out of homes is not allowed. Renting a room in one’s home to a non family member, while living there, violates both deed restrictions. Unfortunately, both deed restrictions are classified as internal deed restrictions, which are the responsibility of the developer to enforce. The developer has a HUGH conflict of interest regarding enforcement and should not have that responsibility. Enforcement of these particular deed restrictions would limit homeowners ability to generate income from their property, reducing demand for the homes they are building as fast as they can. At the end of the day, it’s all about selling houses.

Next door an elderly couple bought the house for their daughter. She is still working up north and not ready to move for a few years. In the meantime they rent it out. This winter a couple has rented out the designer house. They invited another couple for two weeks to stay with them (different state license plates). Then now they’ve invited a different couple again for 3 weeks. All of them are quiet and considerate but I wonder if legal?

A B&B typically has the owner present. To prepare meals and provide maid service.

An Air B&B does not...

Why wouldn't it be legal?

TV has their own rental division, renting private homes for residents. We rented thru them for two months on our 2nd visit to TV. Having houseguests is of no concern to them nor the CCD...

They became more restrictive because people put pink flamingoes in the yards of home without that restriction. We have one house that uses plastic flowers out front and another that had a full sized cannon in the front yard.

Very common with rentals to have 6 adults sharing one home. Legal, yes,since there are no rental restrictions, but all of the amenities were built based on 2 people per rooftop. Now you understand why you have to wait in line 30 minutes between pickleball games, have to get to an aerobics class an hour ahead of time, etc etc during the season. Where elese could a couple rent for a month in Florida in the winter, have access to 95% of the amenities and pay 1/3 of the rent (at most $1700.00 per couple or a little over $50 a day)?

Very common?

Interesting... I've never seen it...

When we rented, My daughter and her (then) fiance´ stayed with us for a while.

That's 4 adults under one roof... Was that a problem?

The older section has the least restrictions, but it still has restrictions. The properties are still required to be in decent condition, kept up and maintained. Violations, when reported and verified, are subject to fines.

Yes, you can have a pink flamingo. And yes, some people have them. Not sure why they're vilified, they are no more or less offensive to me than a front yard full of river rocks like some of the courtyard villas have (and are allowed to have).
