This week’s episode of Take It To The Board explores a topic that resonates deeply with many community association boards: the impact rentals have on a community and how to balance an owner's desire to lease out his or her unit with the association's desire to foster a stable and invested resident population.
Renters can sometimes feel like outsiders, perceived as being less connected to the community’s long-term success but is this perception unfair particularly as it pertains to long-term renters? Host Donna DiMaggio Berger is joined by her partner, David Muller, Vice Chair of Becker’s Community Association Practice and an expert in condominium and planned development law. Together, they discuss their experiences dealing with renters and rental issues in their client communities and brainstorm on best practices and solutions in this area.
Conversation Highlights Include:
- Renter vs. owners’ rights in Florida community associations
- Best practices for renter screening
- Amendments for communities who want to discourage leasing
- Recommended insurance coverage for condominium or cooperative owners who routinely lease out their units
- Challenges related to short-term rentals such as Airbnb
- Renters in “55 and Over” communities
- Section 8 vouchers
