Description:
Plaintiff's December 22, 2020 Amended Petition sought declaratory and injunctive relief from the district court, asking for a declaration that Reynolds' short-term vacation rental of his lakefront property violated the housing addition restrictive covenants against "commercial use". Graham requested a permanent injunction, alleging Reynolds violated the commercial prohibitions in the restrictive covenants, requesting Reynolds be limited to only "residential use" of the property as provided for in the covenants.
In 2019, Reynolds began offering his lake house for short-term rentals through VRBO and other vacation rental websites. Graham brought his declaratory action and request for injunctive relief less than a year later. Graham alleges the short-term renters at Reynolds' house, which is only about 75-100 feet from his own home, impede traffic throughout the neighborhood with extra cars and boats cluttering the streets, preventing Graham's traffic flow to his home as well as impeding other neighbors. Graham asserts the enjoyment of his home has been impaired due to Reynolds' commercial exercises in the short-term rental market.
