What is the name of your state?- Washington (Douglas County)
I live in a home where we are part of a Home Owners Association with yearly dues & normal project assessments. We recently started having issues with owners renting their homes and renters overusing our community ameneties (pool, boat moorage, etc). Our current covenants state that community property is "limited to members and guests either accompanied by a member or staying at a member's lot. It also states that "no lot shall be used except for residential purposes". Most of these homes are listed up on a rental pool website & advertised as providing ameneties such as a pool, boat moorage, etc.
We have a weak Board of Directors and many are supporting the idea of allowing renters to come into our community and/or also have houses up for rent. The Board fears legal suits from these owners who want to rent their homes.
My question is- Do we as owners have any legal action to stop renters from using our association ameneties? Are renters considered guests or are they paying customers? Are owners who rent their homes running a business?
What can we do to not allow renters from using our amenties? Help.
