A Lower Court Decision Threatens Rental Rights and Property Stability.

We Are Appealing to Protect Both — and We Will Win With Your Support.

A recent municipal-level ruling sided with the HOA and upheld its authority to prohibit short-term rentals within our community.

This is a lower court decision. It is not final.

We are filing an appeal immediately because the financial and legal consequences of allowing this ruling to stand are too significant to ignore.

This affects every homeowner.

What Happens If This Stands

When rental rights are suddenly eliminated, markets react quickly.

• Inventory increases

• Buyer demand contracts

• Prices soften

• Appraisals decline

• Community revenue shrinks

We have already seen how this plays out in similar communities. At The Hideout, where owners also lost at the Municipal Court level but WON on appeal, prolonged legal conflict and market instability resulted in substantial financial losses, widespread dissatisfaction, and damage that took years to stabilize.

No one benefits from that outcome.

Not homeowners.

Not full-time residents.

Not the association.

An unchecked ban does not create harmony. It creates financial disruption.

Even the case the judge cited did not provide a blanket ban on STR's, yet that did make it into the judge's decision.

Why the Appeal Is the Only Responsible Path

Municipal courts are the first level of review, not the final authority. Higher courts exist to correct rulings that overextend or misapply governing documents and statutory law.

If we do nothing, this ruling becomes permanent.

If we appeal, we protect:

• Established property expectations

• Market stability

• Community-wide equity

• The financial health of every homeowner

Appealing is not escalation. It is stabilization.

The Financial Reality

Litigation at this level requires serious legal preparation and resources.

The HOA has access to association funds. Individual homeowners do not.

If this fight drags on without proper funding or clarity, the costs can multiply and impact the broader community financially, as history has shown elsewhere.

The most responsible way to avoid prolonged instability is to pursue a decisive appeal now.

This Is About Protecting the Entire Community

This is not about investors versus residents.

It is about preventing a rapid market shift that could trigger:

• A wave of forced sales

• Depressed pricing

• Reduced buyer confidence

• Long-term erosion of property values

We are appealing to protect rental rights and property stability.

If we act together, we can resolve this at the appellate level and restore certainty.
