rental policy

Hello:

We are drafting our condominium docs for our community which will be breaking 
ground in a few months. We are having some dispute around the topic of 
renting. 

To encourage economic diversity and to welcome some people who have been 
around a long time but cannot afford to buy, we definitely want to allow people 
to 
rent their unit or a room in their unit. But being in South Florida where 
"snowbirds" (people who come down only for the winter) and other transients are 
common, we want our documents to reflect a policy that would discourage people 
from making our community their second home or an interesting place to hang 
for a short while. 

Some of us think that rentals should only be allowed for a year or more, 
which would provide stable members of the community. Others think, "hey, what 
if I 
wanted to go away for the summer or even a six-month trip around the world? I 
couldn't rent my unit out while I am gone." 

I'd love to hear other communities' thoughts on this topic. 

Thanks!
