What is the name of your state? Florida
I own a house in a gated golf community in Florida. I bought it for the purpose of renting it out for vacation rentals. I was clear to the realtor my intentions and he lead me to this house in this neighborhood of which he is a resident. Since then I have been informed that in the community handbook there is a restriction of one month minimum for vacation rentals and a $100 transfer fee to use common facilities for each new tenant. The house is maintained in immaculate condition and is managed by a agency which screens all clients. The agency has indicated a willingness to comply with these demands. Although this undoubtedly will be very costly for me as most vacation rentals are two weeks in length. Last night at midnight my wife's mother who flew across the country for a little vacation was denied access to my house. She is not paying rent but is merely using my place because she is family. Apparently there was a letter from the HOA restricting any access to my house. I had even phoned the security booth the day before to ensure she would have no trouble and would be welcomed. Fortunately she was able to call me and I spoke with the guard who had sympathy for her and he let her in, but I still have to deal with this letter as the mother in law is very concerned about her ability to enjoy my place and get in and out of the community.
