Our commonhouse is used too much to have ongoing enterprises too. Occasionally 
residents have given limited term classes, hosted office retreats and school 
fundraisers, and club meetings but other uses have not worked out. 

Our bylaws say short term rentals are not allowed. “Short term” is generally 
interpreted as “less than a month.” 

(When one of these issues comes up I do Google searches and find lots of 
helpful information — like the usual definition of “short term.” When we were 
amending our bylaws, we looked up odd paragraphs on the web to see if they were 
standard.)
