It doesn’t mean DVC can only tell you how many rentals you can have- “Commercial purpose includes a pattern of rental activity or other occupancy by a Member that the Board of Condominium Association, in its reasonable discretion, could conclude constitutes a commercial enterprise or practice.”
It doesn’t just say business, it says “practice”. Not limited to pattern of rental activity, but included. They are very careful to leave the phrasing broad and encompassing instead of narrow and specific.
I should have been clearer and use the words "commercial enterprise" instead of business...so thanks for that correction. The language you use has been updated and is more specific in the RIV, CFW and I assume the VDH POS.
It still uses "pattern of rental activity" and to become a pattern, it has to be at least more than one that they find are too many to be seen as the membership being used for personal use. So in that sense, there will be a number that is used....ie: the pattern on your account is we see you are renting 90% of your points every year, or we see that you are renting 50 reservations every three years, etc. or as strict as a pattern being you have been renting one reservation every single year for the last 3 years....though I doubt that saying one reservation per year can be in violation since we are allowed to rent, so it would need to be higher than that....
That is why the 2007 language I keep going back to (which we don't know if it is still what is used) in the background, was good because it did give you specifics as to when DVC was determining a membership had shifted and what enforcement would be used to stop the shift from continuing
Now, I don't think you or I or any other person here has the specific critieria that DVC is using to determine a membership is being used as a commercial enterprise, and without that, it doesn't matter what any of us think the definition of "commercial enterprise is" (unless I missed it)..
As an owner, we should have the right to have the specifics, if we ask for them because their has to be consistent rules so enforcement can be consistent....so, while the old language was broad, they still need to define it for us.
As I have said many times, I can't follow the rules to keep my membership out of the "commercial enterprise" area if I don't know what those rules are. And, it is about the activity in making reservations to be rented on the membership (or possibly memberships in aggregrate) that count.
