An HOA has the authority to enforce the rules and regulations of the community using the community rules, or “bylaws and covenants.” These rules are considered “agreed upon” since homeowners approve them through board-elected representatives.
This restriction is less common but may be implemented in communities that value owner-occupancy. In California, however, Civil Code Section 4741 does not allow HOAs to prohibit or unreasonably restrict owners from renting out their homes.
