The HOA requires Owners who wish to rent their townhomes for annual leases, or to rent them for a seasonal rental (minimum 30 days), or to be used by family or guests when the Owner is not present, to follow the Rules and Regulations which govern these options. Information and form packets are provided below to explain the requirements. For the safety and security of all FLT residents, the HOA will take actions necessary to prevent Owners from not following these Rules.
In order to identify any Owners who are not following the Rules regarding HOA approval of leases, the HOA Board will be analyzing Envera data to determine where unauthorized renters are accessing the community at the gate entrance or the Clubhouse & Pool while the Owner and Owner's vehicle (identified by security cameras at the entrance and at the Clubhouse & Pool) is not residing in FLT. Owners breaking our Rules & Regulations will be subject to the penalties outlined in our Rules and Florida Statute 720, which include the possibility of minimum fines of $100 up to $1000, the suspension of privileges (Key Fob to pool and Clubhouse and resident gate access), and the denial of future lease application approvals.
