Short-term rentals in a condo: organizing information and rules
Building rules, peace of mind, and security: a clear way to address short-term rentals without escalating tensions.
Short-term rentals can raise questions about quiet enjoyment, security, and compliance with building rules. The board does not manage each stay, but it can help provide clear information and keep factual records of issues affecting common areas.
Start with reference documents
Gather bylaws, general-meeting decisions, and any locally applicable rules. Ask the property manager or a qualified professional before stating that a practice is permitted or prohibited.
Share simple rules
- Respect for building rules and common areas.
- Noise and nuisance prevention.
- Secure building access.
- Waste and practical information.
- A clear contact point for issues.
Handle issues factually
Record dates, locations, observed facts, and actions taken. Avoid general accusations or sharing personal data. An objective history helps identify recurring problems.
