An owner is responsible for his/her tenant’s compliance with the governing documents and can be fined or penalized for the tenant’s violations. Any owner who rents his/her unit should have a written rental agreement incorporating all the governing document usage restrictions, and making the tenancy subject to any additional restrictions that are enacted by the association during the rental term.
Rental restrictions in governing documents are generally legal and enforceable provided they are uniformly applied to all owners, do not discriminate against particular group of potential renters, and can be shown to serve some legitimate purpose.
