The President’s
ReportBy Dave Israel Airbnb
BY: RUTH DREISS AND strikes again
DAV E I S R A E L

Back in 2018, we had our first detected Airbnb advertisement on their


web-site. Working with our attorney, and of course, our long existing
Condo Docs, we kiboshed this slide down the slippery slope of transient
ghetto living.
Now, as seen in the current ad, the Airbnb chimera has arisen again.
This time at 78 Chatham D. At $123.00/night, I suspect that Ezekiel (the
owner of the waterfront palace) is seeing more than the wheel up in the
middle of the air.
Once alerted to this blatant violation of the Condo-Docs, The Board
requested that guest call in privileges for this nonresident unit owner be
temporarily suspended, and this was done immediately.
Allowing subletting or transient rentals of units is a violation of the
bylaws of all CV Associations and could also void the Association’s
liability insurance.
The following extracts from our Condo-Docs apply:
Century Village Declaration of Condominium:
XI. PROVISIONS RELATING TO SALE OR RENTAL OR OTHER
ALIENATION OR MORTGAGING OF CONDOMINIUM UNITS:
“The sub-leasing or sub-renting of a unit owner's interest shall be
prohibited. The Association or Management Firm, shall have the right
to require that a substantially uniform form of Lease be used, or in the
alternative, the Board of Directors' approval of the Lease form to be used
shall be required. After approval, as herein set forth, entire units may
be rented provided the occupancy is only by the Lessee, his family and
guests. No individual rooms may be rented, and no transient tenants
may be accommodated.
XIII USE AND OCCUPANCY The owner of a unit shall occupy and use
his apartment unit as a single family private dwelling, for himself and
the adult members of his family, and his social guests, and for no other
purpose. ...... The unit owner shall not permit or suffer anything to be AIRBNB RENTAL AD, CHATHAM D

VELCOFF arrive and take over the school and the comfortable life
of the students, teachers and Chinese staff are changed
very quickly. This is due to Japan attacking Pearl Har-
bor and both Britain and America declare war on Japan.
This is an overwhelming time of fear, peril and hard
times. To survive they must rely on each other and the
bonds they have formed to overcome these challenging
times.
Nancy Plummer (Plum) and her friends Dorothy
(Sprout) and Joan (Mouse) are the main focus of this
story. Elspeth Kent is one of the teachers at the school.
She guides her fellow teachers and students through
years of Japanese oppression. This book has alternating
chapters from Elspeth and Nancy who are 10-years old.
There are some great pieces in the book with the Girl
Guides (what is now Girl Scouts) and how many of the
guiding principles of this club keep the girls going,
earning new badges and having ceremonies, even while
the school is under Japanese control.
