Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I am a Condominium owner and sharing a room in my unit. The HOA has contacted me and told me that it is against the condominium rules and regulations to Sub-Lease a room out of my unit.

I am not leasing the unit, I own the unit. They refer to two sections that I am suppose to be in violation of. 1) No unit shall be used for any purpose than as and for a single-family residence or dwelling." (2) No unit shall be lease or rented by the respective unit owner thereof for transit or hotel purposes...."

I am writing them back to explain that I am the owner and have been for sixteen years and that this is my family's principle place of residence. We do not live anywhere else except for here. We are not operating as a hotel and the unit is not being rented to anyone and we are not renting it from anyone so that their term of sub-leasing is not valid nor the rules that they are quoting.

Is a unit owner allowed to share a room in their unit or will they be able to ammend the documents to not allow me to share a unit in my condominium?
