An HOA’s Declaration may outline short term rental or an HOA may have instituted a policy for short term rentals, which may include vacation rentals, e.g. AirBnB, VRBO, HomeAway, etc. . The definition of short term in WV is less than 30 days – refer to: TSD-435
A typical HOA covenant restriction prohibits a commercial business from a member’s residential only home. AirBnB is business income which must be reported to the IRS as well as West Virginia’s sales & use tax.
An HOA should consult with legal counsel.
