Alamar is more than a place to live, it’s a place to thrive. As a community built on rich connections and co-creation, special guidelines — including policies for residential leases — were crafted to preserve the Alamar vision. To shed some light on these guidelines, we’ve put together quick answers to common rental questions.
Rental FAQs
What is the minimum lease duration?
Why are short-term leases not allowed?
Alamar is defined by its diverse residents who not only know each other but are personally and emotionally connected to one another and the community. It’s a place to put down roots and celebrate traditions that bring neighbors together year after year. When it becomes a place where tenants are here for a very short while, it becomes much more difficult to foster that special community connection.
Can I rent out a room in my home?
No, your home must be rented in its entirety. Individual rooms, floors, or other areas within your home may not be separately leased.
Can I rent out a separate space in my home if the lease is longer than 6 months?
No, the lease of separate spaces at your home or property is prohibited for any length of time.
Can I post my home on VRBO or AirBnB
Since short term rentals are prohibited in Alamar, your home cannot be advertised on vacation rental or short-term lodging sites. Similarly, homes cannot be used for the operation of timeshares, fractional ownerships, or similar programs, where participants rotate usage of the property.
Do I need to let Alamar Residential Association know I am renting my home?
Yes, within 10 days of signing a lease, the property owner must notify the Alamar Residential Association using the New Tenant Registration form and provide a copy of all signed lease documents.
Can tenants access alamarresidents.org?
Do tenants have access to resident-only amenities?
Yes, renters have access to the same amenities as homeowners.
How do tenants get access to resident-only amenities?
Only homeowners can request amenity access cards. The owner/landlord will need to provide their tenants with amenity access cards and tenants are bound by the same amenity rules and regulations as all residents.
What if I believe a property is being used as a short-term rental?
If you believe there is a residential property being used as a short-term rental, you may submit a community concern. After you submit the form, you will receive an email receipt and Community Life will proceed according to the governing documents.
Keep in mind, Arizona law (ARS 33-1242 and 33-1803) prohibit anonymous complaints to a residential association. You'll need to include your first and last name in your complaint, which could be shared with the involved party.
What if I am having problems or notice concerning behavior with tenants at a rental property?
If you witness criminal activity or have a complaint related to noise disturbances, disruptive gatherings, etc., please contact the Avondale Police Department via 911 or the non-emergency line, 623-333-7001.
If you have concerns related to the condition or upkeep of the rental property, please submit a community concern.
Where can I find the rental guidelines for Alamar?
