Smoketree Henderson Drive is a condominium community in La Mesa, CA — you own your individual unit and a fractional interest in the common areas. The 2012 Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) is the full rulebook that binds all unit owners, their tenants, and guests.

• Use & occupancy: Units may be used only as private single-family dwellings. No hotel or transient use — every lease must be for at least 30 days. A unit cannot be rented or leased for its first year after purchase.
• Leasing & rentals: Minimum lease term: 30 days. No rentals allowed in the first year after the owner acquires title. Owners must require tenants to follow all governing documents and give the association tenant contact info.
