Can someone renting my house use the pool and the other amenities?

**Short answer: no.** Amenity access runs to members and to the guests a member brings.

**Short-term rentals are not permitted at all.** The Association's Commercial Use Guidance treats short-term renting as a commercial use of a residential lot, which the covenants prohibit. So the question of amenity access for a short-term renter does not arise — the rental itself is not allowed.

**A long-term tenant does not get member access.** The covenants give the right and easement of enjoyment in the common properties to **members**, and that easement is attached to the lot's title. The documents create no tenant category and grant occupants no independent right of access. The Board's position is that a tenant does not acquire member amenity rights by living on the lot.

**A land contract purchaser is a different case, and this one is in the covenants.** "Owner" is defined to include a **land contract vendee** — someone buying on land contract holds equitable ownership, and the covenants say ownership means legal ownership of the fee **or** equitable ownership as land contract vendee. A land contract purchaser is therefore a member in their own right, with the same rights as any other member. This is not a courtesy; it is written into the definition.

**What you can do as an owner.** You can bring guests, subject to the normal guest rules, passes and limits. Those rules apply to anyone you bring, including someone staying in your house.

**If your situation does not fit neatly** — an adult child living in the house year-round, a caretaker, a family arrangement — contact the office rather than assuming. These are handled case by case and the documents do not settle them.
