Can the condo management charge a renter to use public pool?
I own a condo and rent it to people on a short term basis when I am not using it. The condo pool was just opened and the condo management has issued a statement that only owners may use pool for free. Anyone else will have to pay a fee. Do my renters have to pay this fee? As they are renting the unit should they not have the rights of given to the unit owner?

In order to get the answer to the question that you need, I suggest that you carefully read the recorded covenants, conditions & restrictions on on your unit as well as all bylaws and decisions made by the HOA.
If there is no mention as to the restriction on the use of the pool, then all owners, renters and guests should be able to us it free of charge.
I would ask the condo management for its authority as to why only owners get to use the pool free but not their guests or renters? After all, the owners of the units in the planned unit development are paying the fees to keep the pool maintained and running.
From what you have written, it seems suspect that renters and guests of owners have to pay a fee to use the swimming pool.
