Re: Security Deposit Question
Wilt - I have rented at TV for the last six years and each time we have had to send a security deposit - usually $500. Each year we did receive the deposit back with one to two weeks after leaving. We also have had a $50 to $75 cleaning fee assessed by some owners (not all). That second $400 that the rental agent is asking for sounds excessive but only because we haven't been charged with it. My 2009 rental agreement (contract in writing) calls for a $500 deposit which we forfeit if we back out. There is also a $50 cleaning fee. We send our first months rent as well as $50 for TV resident card 30 days in advance of occupancy. Second months rent is paid during our first month or we can pay it when we mail in the first month.
Some said to be sure and get a written & signed agreement  . That's a must. You will have a great time and most of what your agent is asking is normal. Everyone has some item that is different in their contract. See if they also will rent you a golf cart - if so it will probably be cheaper than TV rentals.
Good Luck :bigthumbsup:
