Leasing/Renting Your Home
The information on this page is not to encourage the leasing/rental of your home. If you do decide to lease/rent your home, we want to make sure that the HOA’s Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements and Restrictions and the Prince George’s County laws are followed.
There is a perception that rentals may bring into the community people who would not normally live in the area. While many renters are great neighbors, there is suspicion that they will not take care of the property to the standards of other home owners or even disregard association rules. The ultimate concern is that a community’s values will be decreased if too many rentals are allowed.
A high number of rentals can negatively affect a Homeowner Association. Sometimes liability insurance rates can also be higher.
In addition to these factors owner-occupants in a Homeowners Association are often concerned about:
maintenance issues
frequent move-ins and move-outs
lack of “community spirit” due to relatively short occupancy periods.
Keeping these concerns in mind is one of the most important things a rental owner can do when dealing with any other owner in a community.
Homeowners must abide by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements and Restrictions Article 13, Section 13.1. when deciding to lease their home and follow all county laws.
If you are a homeowner and are currently renting your home:
You must submit your active rental license to the management company at Community@accessmmi.com within 5 days of the license approval date. Failure to do so places you in direct violation of county regulations and also exposes you to potential legal consequences. Homeowners with active rental licenses that have not been submitted to the management company must do so immediately.
You must submit all active lease agreements to the management company at customerservice@pvmgt.com within 5 days of the date the lease goes into effect. If you currently have tenants residing in your property the lease agreements must be submitted immediately.
*Short-term rentals, e.g., Airbnb are prohibited in the Capital Court Community and homeowners are subject to fines if they violate this policy.*
