In accordance with the CC&Rs, owners of rental units must provide the HOA with a copy of the lease/rental agreement they have
made with their tenants within 14 days of entering into a lease.
While requirement this has been on the books since at least 2002, the HOA has not been very diligent in enforcing this requirement. However, we have finally set up a simple online form for registering leases: https://caminodelprado.org/unit-leases. Responses to this form are available only to the Board and our management company. As a one-time grace period, no fines will be issued to homeowners who complete this form by March 15th, 2025 for any existing lease.
Here are additional rules regarding rental and leased units:
- Owners of rental units shall provide the HOA with a copy of the lease/rental agreement they have made with their tenants by filling out a registration form within 14 days of entering into a lease: https://caminodelprado.org/unit-leases. All Tenants must also register their vehicle(s) with the HOA: https://caminodelprado.org/vehicles;
- Owners of rental units shall provide all tenants with a copy of the Rules and Regulations, CC&Rs, and Bylaws for the HOA prior to tenants moving into the owner’s unit;
- Screening of potential tenants shall be the sole responsibility of the Owner of the unit. Owners are responsible for tenants who do not comply with the Rules and Regulations, CC&Rs, and Bylaws;
- Owners of rental units shall inform tenants that a) the City of Sunnyvale has made it illegal to smoke within the public and private areas of an HOA and b) that tenants are living within 1000 feet of a school;
- All tenants shall be subject to the Fair Housing Laws and occupancy laws of the state of California
- The HOA shall not allow tenant subleasing provisions in any lease or rental agreements. The Owners of rental units agree to not allow tenants to sublet their units;
- No lease shall be for an initial term of less than 180 days. [Please note that this requirement has been in the CC&Rs since at least 2002.]
These rules apply when a person is permitted to occupy the unit for compensation of any kind while the owner is not in residence.
See the community rules, and Sections 4.02 and 10.01(b) of the CC&Rs for additional information.
