Short Term Rentals - Out of Hand Here

This is a subject that is brought up on a regular basis and never seem to get any help from any board we have or had in past...But a Verry serious issue none the less

For starters we have a 2 units in build 5 that continuously rent for weekends or weekly rentals,
both were purchased by a canadian couple last year. The 1 unit is worse than other !

Unit 104 in Build 5 has had numerous complaints to office.....7 in the last 2 months alone

This past weekend it was rented for 3 days to a very shady crew of people who had traffic here at all hours for the 3 day weekend..stop in and leave (Drug Traffic) ??  

 They drove through gates the wrong way on many occasions this weekend

 and had people sitting in cars every time we pulled up this weekend...I had a police friend run plates and they were all  people from Glendale and Phoenix Az,... 20 -30 age group!!

Seems they rented this place for a party house for the weekend, they threw trash all over BBQ areas, cups , lids bottles etc. On Monday we got a new set of renters, they said they are here for the week ??

But noticed they just had a key to swim and drove in around 2 and left at 5:30pm

THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM AGAIN HERE, PEOPLE LETTING OTHER PEOPLE USE THEIR KEYS TO USE POOL, We see many people drive in go to pool and then drive out

WHERE ARE THESE FULL TIME RESIDENT BOARD MEMBERS WHO PROMISED TO WALK THE GROUNDS??

What many of you dont realize is that short term renters affect the value of our property , because the city if you have enough short term renters you can be deemed a "Hotel which dramatically affects the value of our homes here

So to our "NEW BOARD" Its time to finally take the time and start finding the properties here that have consistent problems with rentals and take care of it

NOT 12 LETTERS AND A $50 FINE  .. THIS IS NOT WORKING AL THESE YEARS

I have discussed this with many residents as of late and all feel the Board needs to take immediate action for this problem, And come up with a plan

We are tired of living in a Hotel!! .I have talked with residents in 5 different buildings who are having the same issues  

 We are not talking about visitors who rent for a month or longer, 

These are the folks who come in for a weekend and treat our homes like a hotel

This will definitely be a topic brought up at next meeting and I assure you we will have more than 3 minutes to plead this case along with others who have to live around this Bullcrap
