If you want to list your home in Mauldin and live in Travelers Rest, you are out of luck. I really wish I were making up that last one. Seemingly arbitrary restrictions in other areas such as parking, total number of guests (sorry big families, take your money elsewhere), and where the property owner can live. Permits are required, as is a guest registry. Townhouses and apartments are also banned. No more shared spaces or private rooms in a house. Most HOAs have restrictions on rentals for less than 30 days.īut your house is in Mauldin? Mauldin very recently passes their own restrictions. But what is lurking around the corner? HOA regulations. If you have made it this far, that’s an accomplishment. To make things more complicated, South Carolina state law defines Short Term Occupancy as less than 90 days, whereas the city defines it as less than 30 days.

I’m willing to bet you don’t know your property’s zoning offhand. The whole page of everything you need to know! It is no wonder so many hosts are confused and accidentally wander into unfortunate situations.
