What The Villas of Rainberry Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

The Villas of Rainberry is a single-family-home HOA in Delray Beach, Florida. These documents are for homeowners and tenants: they include the full Rules & Regulations, a leasing application packet, and the association's Bylaws. They cover what it takes to live here—especially if you want to rent your home.

• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be at least 4 months and no longer than 1 year. Only one new lease is allowed per 12-month period. Owners must submit a complete application, pay a $100 background check per adult tenant, and get written HOA approval before signing a lease. Owners must also file a copy of the signed lease and a landlord permit with the HOA. Tenants must sign a Lessee's Agreement.
• Owner occupancy before renting: Anyone buying a home must own and live in it for at least one year before renting it out.
• Background checks & tenant approval: Every prospective tenant 18 or older must undergo a background check costing $100 each. The HOA has 10 business days to process the completed application. If approved, only then may the landlord sign the lease. No additional persons may occupy the property without a new application and approval.
• Pets: Pets must be on a leash outside. Owners/tenants must clean up waste. Pets cannot be tied outside a fenced yard. Offspring are not allowed without amending the agreement. The HOA can require removal for noise, threats, or disturbances.
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight street parking. No parking on grass. Commercial vehicles, boats, RVs, and trailers are not allowed (except in a closed garage). The speed limit is 25 MPH. Violators may be towed or fined: $25 first repeat, $50 each additional, up to $1,000.
• Property alterations & maintenance: Exterior changes (paint, fences, driveways, landscaping, etc.) require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Owners must keep their residence, lawn, walls, fences, and mailbox in good repair. If an owner fails to maintain, the HOA can step in and bill the owner.
• Fees, fines & assessments: Annual and special assessments are mandatory and secured by a lien. Late fees: $10 after 30 days, plus $25 each additional month. After 90 days, the account goes to the attorney. Fines start after a 14-day warning and can accumulate up to $1,000 per violation.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is a partial set: it contains the leasing application packet, the Rules & Regulations (dated 2005), and the Bylaws. It does not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, the Articles of Incorporation, the Recreation Area Agreement, or the Lake Board Governing Agreement, which are referenced but not provided. It also does not specify current assessment amounts or rules about pool hours (beyond '8am to dusk'), trash schedules, or dock details beyond what is excerpted.
