As we have seen, an HOA cannot just decide that it wants to prohibit short-term rentals one day. The prohibition must be grounded in some authority derived from the community declaration. For the most part, a community with an existing rental restriction in its mandate will have the right to enforce the regulation.

If the Association's declaration prohibits rentals (short-term or long), the HOA can likely enforce the prohibition unless there is some other reason why the restriction is unenforceable.
