Small but growing group of vacation rental owners with non-disparagement clauses

 Disparagement clauses have been utilized numerous times by declarants and HOA boards. There is a pretty interesting one that KB Homes used a few years ago in the Houston area.



There are also HOA/condo bylaws and even restrictive covenants that purport to prohibit causing any statement to be published in any public forum (radio, tv, newspaper, web, etc.) Some of these clauses even have express language purporting to prohibit any negative statement about the subdivision, HOA, builder, or declarant.

Incredibly the despots who prefer to operate anonymously try to either fine or file suit in an effort to silence public disclosure of what's going on there.
