Residents of the northeast Mesa community of Las Sendas have voted to dramatically reduce homeowners’ options for renting out their houses.
With passage of an amendment to the community’s to amend their neighborhood Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, or CC&Rs, people wanting to rent a house in Las Sendas will be required to sign a lease of at least 31 days.
The amendment is aimed at short-term rentals particularly on online platforms like AirBnb and VRBO that led to a series of ongoing problems for full-time residents who suddenly found themselves living next to “party houses.”
