Allow MTR in Condo HOA Board bylaw change?

I was just wondering if anyone has been successful in convincing Condo HOA Boards to change the bylaws to allow MTR (Moderate Term Rentals)?

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.

My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.

The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).


They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.

I think that's a lot of horse waste!

I have a two bed, two bath.  The MTR agencies offer furnishings and decoration of the property.  They would only rent according to the number of bedrooms (ie., 2Bd means two persons).  That wouldn't stress out the resources anymore than renting to two people.  A traditional rental is likely two parents and two kids, causing four persons to live there.

My intent is to bring up a case to the HOA to allow MTR. I understand how short term, like an AirBnB might cause some issues. But MTR is win-win all around.

Any thoughts?
