Blossom Rock 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 Blossom Rock vision. To shed some light on these guidelines, we’ve put together quick answers to common rental FAQs.
What is the minimum lease duration for a rental property in Blossom Rock?
The minimum lease for a rental property in Blossom Rock is 180 consecutive days, or six consecutive months.
Why are residential leases shorter than 180 days (or six months) not allowed in Blossom Rock?
Blossom Rock is defined by its diverse residents who not only know each other but are personally and emotionally connected to one other 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 post my home for rent on a site like Airbnb or VRBO?
Since short term rentals are prohibited in Blossom Rock, 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 the Blossom Rock Residential Association know that I am renting out my home?
Yes. Within 10 days of signing a residential lease, as the property owner, you will need to notify the Blossom Rock Residential Association (BRRA) and provide a copy of all signed documents. Please use the new tenant registration form to submit this information.
Can tenants register for the resident website?
Yes. Tenants may register for the resident website, blossomrockresidents.com, so that they can get information about neighborhood events, clubs and groups, and other activities. Before tenants can register on the site, however, the owner or property management company will need to fill out the new tenant registration form. Once that’s completed, the tenant will receive an email letting them know they can now register for the site.
I bought a multi-generational home, can I rent out a separate area such as an in-law suite, casita, or extra room?
No. Any detached structure designed for use as a guest house may not be leased separate from the main part of the house. Individual spaces within your home may also not be leased. As a property owner, you may not lease out the main part of your home while you reside in the guest house or casita.
Can I rent out a separate space in my home if the lease is longer than six months?
No. The lease of separate spaces at your home or property is prohibited for any length of time.
Do tenants have access to resident-only Blossom Rock amenities (e.g., community pool, Bus Stop) for the duration of their lease?
Yes. Renters may have access to the same amenities as the property owner.
How do tenants get access to resident-only amenities such as the community pool and Bus Stop?
Only homeowners can request access to the amenity, so tenants will need to obtain these from the owner/landlord. Tenants are bound by and need to follow all amenity rules and regulations.
What if I believe there is a property in the neighborhood that 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 form, which will go to the Blossom Rock Community Life team. After you submit the form, you will receive an email receipt and info on how the concern will be addressed.
Keep in mind, it’s Arizona law (ARS 33-1242 and 33-1803) that any complaint submitted to the Residential Association cannot be made anonymously. If you’re reporting a violation, you’ll need to include your first and last name, which could be shared with the involved party.
What if I’m having a problem or notice concerning behavior with tenants at a rental property in the neighborhood?
If you witness criminal activity or have a complaint related to noise disturbances, disruptive gatherings, etc., please contact the Apache Junction Police Department via 911 or their non-emergency line, (480) 982-8260. If you have concerns related to the condition or upkeep of the rental property, please submit a community concern form.
