For what it's worth, when we first came to TV, we rented a ranch home in Amelia for 6 months. Our neighbors greeted us with joy as the previous renters had been there for a year. They were described as a couple of construction workers who made the house their party house. Big drinking parties every night - drunk and unconscious men on their lawn, etc. I can attest that they had a keg cooler in the house (removed before we moved in). Neighbors said they called the police and TV folks about them each and every week. Police would come, roust them out - nothing changed. Landlord didn't care - rent was coming in just fine.
I think the hidden point the OP was making is that TV is "sold" as a 55+ retirement community. What is never said is the fact that anyone of any age over _______ (moving target) can purchase or rent a home and live here as long as they don't have kids under the age of ____ (also a moving target). I know our mindset was of people of like ages living all around us. Rentals would be filled with people of like ages...
That's just not the reality of TV. And by not complaining about rentals that seem out of control, we make that our new normal. For those of you who are deriding the OP for complaining, I'm guessing you'd be the first and the loudest if it was happening in your neighborhood.
Just my thoughts.... worth almost nothing.
