The HOA does not allow short term rentals and no less than 6 month periods for lease terms. The HOA does not limit the types of ownership or the number of properties one owner may have. As of 3\/1\/2025 there are about 35 rentals out of 950 homes in Pine Forest which is a very small percentage. In fact, many mortgage lenders do not like the owner not having the ability to rent their home if necessary to be able to continue paying the mortgage. The HOA does expect the owner to be ultimately responsible for the upkeep and comportment of tenants and their property. Contact the HOA if you observe a property going into disrepair.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-m7w9xj82-ae5ff2540c87a81946c4fdd633ff1e09'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} {Pets} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Are chickens or other farm animals allowed?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Are chickens or other farm animals allowed?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Are chickens or other farm animals allowed?\">Are chickens or other farm animals allowed?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The HOA strictly prohibits keeping farm animals on any property, including chickens.
