Clause sets a 7-day minimum lease floor, whereas Traverse City enforces a 30-day minimum stay. Because municipal zoning ordinances and HOA covenants operate as dual concurrent restrictions, the stricter standard governs (Effective Minimum = MAX(30 days City, 7 days HOA) = 30 days). Rentals of 7 to 29 days are illegal under Traverse City code despite appearing permitted by the HOA text.
Operative Clause · Sec. V (Page 13)
“The Board may add a shortterm rental cap as part of this annual review.”
Why It’s Flagged
Traverse City Codified Ordinances Ch. 862 & Zoning Ch. 1332 (commercial vacation home rentals under 30 days prohibited in R-1a, R-1b, and R-2 residential districts; Tourist Homes require owner occupancy and annual city license)
When a state does not preempt local short-term rental regulation and a municipality imposes a 30-day minimum stay, private HOA covenants cannot authorize an owner to violate municipal zoning law.
Conversely, if the HOA were stricter than the city, the HOA covenant would govern.
Under this dual-compliance rule, both laws apply simultaneously and the effective minimum rental duration is 30 days.
