Please help. Recently, in a conflict with my Homeowners Association I printed out my Association's bylaws and found the following anti UCF student sentiment. I talked with a member of my Association's Board of Directors and found out they do not want UCF students to rent in our subdivision. I have rented to UCF students at one point for close to four years and no one said anything, but three new Directors are really anti UCF renters. They told me the Carillon Subdivision has been able to restrict UCF students from renting there.
The following is from our Homeowners Association bylaws and is highlighted in yellow in the bylaws:
Rental Restrictions:
The renting of houses for less than twelve (12) months is prohibited. Aside from Oviedo and Seminole County restrictions on the renting of homes, Easton Park's policy requires owners to provide a copy of the lease agreement with the proposed tenant to the Management Company and the Board of Directors. Rentals may only be to one single family. Multiple non-family rentals are not permitted. A $100.00 nonrefundable application fee must be submitted to the Homeowners Association with a copy of these rules signed by both Lessee and Lessor as proof they have been read and accepted. Leases without the attachment or fee will not be accepted. Each lease must be approved or denied by the Board within five (5) business days.
I am thinking about consulting a lawyer. Any recommendations?
