I also have not had a single encounter with a bad guy here that was a renter. If you want to fix some of your concerns legally - have the developer require no mortgages for house ownership here. I am so tired of renters and snowbirds being the issue here. I came here when the population was less than 40000. Rudeness increased exponentially with the population increase not the season of the year. The statement was not an attack on you but this notion of who belongs here sucks.

rustyp: Just for clarification purposes there is one main difference. Those renting here in The Villages do so as a vacation destination and not as the majority of the 33.8% do as their permanent residence. Again its not the renter its the renting effect on the community. I accept what I cannot change and have always extended myself to renters being polite, helpful and welcoming.
