Homeowners' Association: House Rules and Rental Ban


Questioner

Can an Owners' Association include a provision in its internal regulations stating that only the owner of the apartment in question may live in the apartment in question? Can a VvE include in its HR that an apartment may only be sold to a natural person?

Lawyer

Yes, that is allowed to protect speculation to rent to temporary residents and tourists etc., something that can lead to unwanted and inappropriate situations and nuisance for permanent residents. The rental ban must be stated in the deed of division that the apartments are intended for living, if only the house rules state this, that is insufficient.
