Unfair Short Term Rental Practices

The Issue

In our community, the HOA permits an absentee homeowner/investor to rent their vacation home to many people/families and is fining ($100/day) the locals that live in the community year-round, the opportunity to rent a single room over the garage or some other part of their property. The CPOA discriminates locals in favor of out-of-area real estate investors! We are asking that the covenant language in bold below be removed in the Chicahauk covenants, or to JUST STOP the recent enforcement. It’s been 50 years here with ZERO enforcement on ANY rentals. 


Section 1. Residential Use.

(a). Each and every building lot within the Chicahauk subdivision shall be used only for single-family residential purposes. No building or structure, including guest houses and/or suites or ancillary or accessory structures, shall be erected, altered, placed, or permitted to remain on any lot without the prior written approval, in accordance with Section 3 of this Article, of CPOA. Only one single family residence may be placed on any lot, and duplexes or multiple family houses are expressly prohibited. No guest house and/or suites ancillary or accessory structures may leased, rented or sold separately from the main residence.
