Legal TREND. Texas Supreme Court + Short Term Rentals + Restrictive Covenants = Win for Short Term Rentals

Court: Texas Supreme Court 

Case: Tarr v. Timberwood Park Owners Ass’n, Inc.

Did restrictive covenants stop short term rentals? No, short term rentals can continue. 

How did short term rentals continue in the face of restrictive covenenants that limit use of a property to single-family residences?

  • Covenants did not address leasing of property
  • Covenants did not require owner occupation
  • Since covenants addressed neither, there was no prohibition from short term leasing
