Can the HOA evict my same-sex partner?

Jun 18th, 2007, 10:54 PM

I own a condo in Atlanta, GA and live in Savannah, GA for my job. My same-sex domestic partner lives in the condo in Atlanta. He holds a Limited Power of Attorney for my condo so he can maintain, manage, and even advertise/show my condo for selling purposes. On June 14th, the HOA sent us a violation letter stating that they will evict my partner because we do not hold Leasing Status on the unit, and they have accused me of renting/leasing to my partner. He doesn't pay rent to live there, instead it's like a spouse/child/relative living in a condo that one owns. Can a Limited Power of Attorney save us from him having to move out? What else can prove that he is not a "Tenant"? I have let the HOA know that my partner has permission to enter the condo without me present. I haven't told them yet that he holds a Limited Power of Attorney for the property.

What advice can you provide?

If he is not renting you may inform them, and the court if need be, and they should lose on that charge.
