You just described the situation my wife and I are in right now.
We bought our Condo in 2004, the complex built in 1989 had one building with 21 units, only one family lived there full time, quite often my wife and I would be the only people at the complex, in 2006 because of the building boom, 3 new buildings were built, now we have 78 total units.
Now we have 2 separate HOAs, one for building 1 and one for buildings 2,3,4.
Our building doesn’t allow short term rentals, 3 month minimum, but we had very few snowbirds coming down.
The other buildings allow one week and shorter rentals.
It’s worse in the summer when people rent a unit for 1 week for vacation, because they can’t really afford the rental, they pack 2 families into one unit and treat the place like it’s a pig pen.
I don’t really like the Snow Birds either, but at least they are older and retired and rent the units for 3-4 month and treat the complex like they live there, not something to be abused and discarded like the weekly summer renters.
… at least they are older and retired and rent the units for 3-4 month and treat the complex like they live there, not something to be abused and discarded like the weekly summer renters.…
Amen.
Sorry y’all are having to deal with this, but, congratulating your good fortune of being in the original building.
