Sorry to take up "hunting posts," but just in case there are any TBH'RS who have dealt with this I and my neighbors would appreciate any responses:
Our small sub-division has an "absentee owner in Florida" who has been renting out his previous home as an Air B&B for 3 years now. The "rental" is right across the street from us. We have a small sub division just out of the city limits of Granbury with 31 home owners.
This guy will rent to anyone and it's frankly been a mess now for several years. Up to 17 cars and trucks blocking the road, trash scattered when they leave and the Covid has not slowed him down at all. We have out of state vehicles, neighbors docks "next to the rental" that have had some stolen property, loud parties and it goes on and on. The Sheriff's department even showed up this past summer due to some folks causing problems.
We recently, with a majority of property owners, amended the deed to prevent any short time rentals of less than 60 days. The "owner" sent all of the sub division owners a letter stating it was unlawful and basically he would do what he wanted with the house as a short term rental. He has previously ignored and refused even certified letters regarding our concerns. The only proof we have had recently was after he accepted a Fedx letter then he responded a week ago we all were unlawful and he would do what he want's.
So, there, long winded but looking for any success or even failures that any of you have been party to battling this type of situation? Our sub division does NOT have an HOA but the deed does restrict certain behaviors and property restrictions filed with the county. Oh, Hood County Attorney, Commissioner and even the Fire Marshall has been NO help.
Any comments from your experience that might provide us some guidance is appreciated.
