In 2008, Jupiter, FL's code compliance department began issuing zoning violations to property owners caught renting "short-term". Much like Miami Beach, prior to 2009, there was an absence of rental restrictions in the zoning code determining the length of rentals for single-family homes.
In 2009, Jupiter, FL took property owners Alex and Holly Bondar to court, seeking a "declaratory judgment action" against the Bondars' "short-term rentals.
The Bondars responded that the City had taken their property rights without due process, as the City had never adopted any restrictions into the City Code.
In December 2010, the court ruled against Jupiter, FL, and in favor of the Bondars, who had retained the non-profit Pacific Legal Foundation as representation.
