Donna DiMaggio Berger’s commentary on the First District Court of Appeal’s recent ruling on short-term rentals in private communities was published in the Daily Business Review’s May 16, 2017, issue.
With Airbnb and similar short-term rental sites here to stay, Donna dissects the ruling’s impact on residential use restrictions in private residential covenants. She discusses ways to resolve the conflict between some association members’ desire to monetize their properties and associations’ desire to protect the residential nature of the community in the Airbnb era. Donna’s commentary is a must-read for anyone on the board or resident of a shared ownership community.
