HOA Rental Properties

Several of our Chesapeake Station owners rent out their property to others.  This is a reminder that per the Chesapeake Station Declaration of Covenants, Easements, Charges, and Liens, which is incorporated in owners’ deeds by reference, all owners are required to submit a copy of the lease to the Board of Directors.  A notification form is available on the CSHOA website at https://chesapeakestationhoa.org/documents-forms/.  This form must be sent to the Board of Directors each time a new lease is signed or an existing lease renewed.  The reason for these provisions are for the Board of Directors to understand, for reasons of management and safety, who is living in our development.

Additionally, in 2019 the Town passed Ordinance O-19-11, which adopted requirements for landlords who rent out a home located with the Town borders.  In particular, Section 162-14 of the Town Code sets down a requirement that all residential rental properties in the Town be licensed.  This Town requirement applies to Chesapeake Station properties.  An application form can be found  here.

With the popularity of Airbnb, VRBO, and other companies facilitating short-term rental opportunities, we also want to remind CSHOA homeowners that rentals for time-periods less than 6 months are not permitted in Chesapeake Station.  The notification requirement helps prevent the transient population associated with this type of rental.

Owners who rent out their property in our development are responsible for ensuring that their tenants follow Town and CSHOA guidelines.
