Same here. Ours is relaxed and just keeps things from getting out of hand. For example we voted to limit rentals to avoid big companies coming in and buying houses to rent out. It’s a great neighborhood with mostly nice respectful people and the few issues get handled in a reasonable way.

Yes, we were able to vote in restrictions on rentals a few years ago - when I was on the board our lawyer told us that case law precedents in our state made that all but impossible. But after I left the board, they consulted a different lawyer who did put together wording that he thought would survive a challenge and it passed by the neighborhood vote by a large margin. We had to 'grandfather in' existing rentals but effective 1/1/2022 no one can buy a house in order to rent it out. So far has not been challenged. Out of 374 homes, about 25 of them are rentals, and those landlords and/or their tenants are about 80% of the problems our board has to deal with. You can tell the rentals from the owned just by driving the neighborhood, corporate landlords do the bare minimum and only fix things when they get a letter from us.
