Court upholds rule prohibiting short-term rentals
The condominium corporation’s declaration said that the units could be used only as “single family dwellings”. The corporation also passed a rule prohibiting tenancies of less than four months.
The owner had rented his unit for short terms (in some cases as short as one night), through airbnb and similar websites.
The Court held that the Declaration prohibited hotel-type uses, that the rule was valid, and that the owner had contravened both.
