Short-term Rentals Again Found to Violate Restrictive Covenants

In Apache Hills Property Owners Association, Inc. v Sears Nichols Cottages, LLC, an unpublished Michigan Court of Appeals opinion, the court held yet again that renting a residence on a short term basis violates covenants that lots will be used as a single family private residence and that no business of any sort would be conducted.

The opinion gives a good overview and analysis of the prior case law regarding short term rentals and restrictive covenants.
