What We’re Voting On: Will owners of homes at Desert Mountain be prohibited from leasing their homes to anyone other than DM Club members or DM home owners for less than 30 days? Brokers affiliated with the DM HOA or the DM Club would be exempt from these restrictions. For example, should guests for a wedding at Desert Mountain be prohibited from leasing a Desert Mountain home from the owner for a few days or a week? Will owners of Desert Mountain homes be prohibited from exchanging their homes with others for less than 7 days? Note that both restrictions (30-day minimum rental and 7-day minimum exchange) are included in a single proposal. Owners can not vote on one or the other. It’s all or nothing.
A YES vote allows the DMMA Board to write these use restrictions into our CC&Rs.
A NO vote keeps DMMA CC&Rs unchanged.
The amendment fails if less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast are YES.
