Personally, I think that if renters are trashing the place and are behaving like trash, it's better to have them out after ONE month, not wait for three/four/five/six months to pass!!
Referring to my #38 post as respects this thread I speculated at the time I wrote it that perhaps the Developer who has some close associations with his subcontracts devised this arrangement in order to complete the build out and in doing so helped by reducing contractor employee turnover. I ignored it because it would have deviated from this topic. However some 3-4 posters have brought it up. It is a possibility.

As respects my post #38 and my great concern for TV's rental policy I did as some posters suggested took it to the District > I was summarily told they had no legal or administrative power to do anything about it. so I posed the rhetorical question of then who does and do you have an address?

The above poster posit that a three month policy allows renters to thrash the place for 3 months. this may be a possibility since no one seems to be policing who lives here and certainly if the home is purchased for solely rental purposes, well rent is income and income is profit and the rest be damned .

I happen to disagree and would prefer long term rental agreements because this is our home and we should treat it as such and not a vacation destination because the latter will create the chaos, etc found in other Florida communities.

There is a built in problem within this community in addition to the no rules application of rentals but I'll leave that for another discussion.

In the years that I have lived here this is the very first time I have witnessed so many people publicly showing concern for their investment and having a rational discussion about the effect it has on our community. Indeed this is not about RENTERS many of whom are welcome additions. NO rather its about the RENTAL RULES OR LACK THEREOF THAT HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR WAY OF LIFE AND OUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT.

The question I still have is exactly how important is it to you as a resident? I also posed these same sort of questions to the POA and perhaps I am wrong but was left with the impressed they were not interested.

The rental policy is measured only as it is profitable to those who have financial interests in making a profit. Well the rest of us have a financial interest in our invested properties and we should likewise be concerned. There is a win win here but first we need residents to speak up...and the higher the dollar amount of your investment the greater the potential loss, albeit many resident have invested near their life savings in this community.

My thought is if the POA gets a sufficient number of inquiries showing concern here that it may prompt them to act. I did and 1 is the loneliest number that there ever was....... Perhaps residents will disagree with me entirely and this is not an issue at all? I opine others can decide
Personal Best Regards:
