Trump may be banned from living in Mar-a-Lago: he allegedly violates an obligation made 28 years ago

Palm Beach, Florida officials are conducting a "due diligence" on Donald Trump's use of Mar-a-Lago as a residence due to a 1993 agreement restricting long-term stays at the mansion. Writes about it Daily Mail.

Eric Trump, son of the 45th president and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said his father has the right to stay at the exclusive club for as long as he wishes.

In 1993, Trump signed a special use exemption agreement that allowed him to turn the historic mansion into a non-profit community club. But the agreement includes a clause limiting the stay of no more than 10 guests at a time, no more than seven days at a time, to three inconsistent visits per year.

Neighbors have argued that Trump has violated the agreement in the past, and Wednesday, January 27, marks seven days since he flew there before President Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20.

According to City Director Kirk Blowin, the agreement is "pending in court" by Palm Beach Attorney John Randolph.

Blowin added that he "knows nothing about where Trump lives or intends to live."

The city council could discuss the 1993 permit and Trump's residence at a February 9 meeting, he said.

The signed document states that in case of violation of the 1993 agreement, the city has the right to revoke the club's license and seek help from the court.

But Eric Trump said his father has the legal right to live on his property.

“There is absolutely nothing that prohibits my father from living in this club,” he said.

Trump pointed to section 134-2 of the city's municipal code that defines private clubs and noted that Mar-a-Lago retains its RAA-Large Estate residential zoning.

“In residential areas, a private club may provide residential accommodation only to its bona fide employees,” the resolution states.

“Employee means any person customarily employed on the premises of an enterprise, including sole proprietorships, partners, limited partners, officers of a corporation, etc.,” the resolution states.

Eric Trump added that in his father's 1993 clearance statement, he said that the way the property was used would not change.

“The use of the property cannot be changed and it should be used as Marjorie Merriweather Post used it,” he said, referring to the heiress who built the estate in the 1920s.

He also noted that the critics' main argument was a clause in the 1993 resolution that a guest suite should be limited to a maximum of three inconsistent seven days by any member during the year.

“He's the owner and director, so this doesn't apply to him,” Eric Trump said. “There is a big difference between a guest and an owner.”

Eric Trump said the 1993 agreement was not a zone change and that his father's agreement with the city and zoning regulations have provisions that require the property to be returned to residential use "if the club is down for some reason."

“The agreement required that the property be returned to the authorities if for some reason the club did not operate or make a profit,” he said.

Mar-a-Lago's neighbors, who opposed Trump's residency, sent a letter to Palm Beach officials claiming that the president could not reside permanently at the resort (citing a long-term stay clause in the 1993 agreement).

Reginald Stumbo, a lawyer representing the DeMoss family, which owns real estate near Mar-a-Lago, wrote in a letter that the president should find another place to live.

In recent years, Trump has made numerous trips to Mar-a-Lago that lasted more than seven days. He stayed eight consecutive days in 2020, 16 days in 2019 and 10 days in 2017.

Eric Trump added that his father has been living there since 1992 and "no one said anything."

He also noted that his family already owns two other houses nearby on Woodbridge Road.

“They are beautiful houses, and my father could have lived in any of them on Woodbridge,” he said. “But then the Secret Service would probably block the road.” Neighbors should be very careful what they ask for.”

Eric Trump said his father plans to leave Mar-a-Lago as his main residence.

“He's going to be traveling and I'm sure he'll be spending a lot of time away from Palm Beach, but he plans to spend a lot of time there as well,” Eric said.

Michael Cohen, who was Trump's personal lawyer, said Trump "cannot reside in Mar-a-Lago as a permanent resident."
