How Can A Condo Board Prove A Unit Is Being Leased?

I’m on the board of HOA of my building and we have a bylaw which prohibits leasing of units. But it occurs to me, couldn’t an owner just rent on the sly?
For example, they could say someone is house-sitting their condo. Or they could say they’re letting a friend stay at their place for a while.

Ours makes us *register* our vehicles with the board. If a vehicle is here overnight for more than 5 days - it gets towed on the sixth day and the unit gets a warning. So many warnings and you get a monetary fine.
We also have lots of nosy people here who watch who comes and goes. I’m sure if you asked one of them, they not only could tell you who is in a unit but how long they’ve been in there and pretty much what’s going on.
Gotta love communal living!

There are plenty of ways.
You can ask the owner to provide copies of his current utility bills for the unit. It’s very likely that if the unit is actually leased, that the utility bills have been put into the name of the tenant, so the owner would not be able to produce utility bills in his name.

The Board can adopt Rules which reasonably interpret the language of the governing document. You can adopt a rule, by resolution, which defines leasing to be the use and occupancy of the Unit for a given period of time by persons other than the title holders.
