In response to your above-stated comments, I have in the past directed this question to both the District and the POA who both ran away from the question. My concern was not renting out one's home that is a given right. My concern was how homeowners could transfer their amenity rights to others.
The agreement between The Villages and a new resident essentially says for a monthly fee per household all amenities are available...
Nowhere does he say you may transfer your amenity rights.
The argument always ends up with but the homeowner gives up his/her Villages ID which is true......... However with a full time residents you normally have two people utilizing the amenities and periodically their guests.
However with rentals the number of amenities users
increases exponentially with each passing month placing greater pressure on all amenities. This situation is only going to get worse as The Villages continues to expand. and there are a appreciable number of homes here purchased strictly as rental units which exacerbates this situation
We all have our personal views and mine was I believed I was buying into a retirement community and not a vacation destination for others because that is the way The Villages marketed this place. Losing sight of that purpose can have serious consequences
And this attitude of "if you don't like it leave" is shallow and thoughtless because for one, many people for many reasons just can't pick up and leave
Essentially what I am saying is that the so called Housing Rules, as are all rules made to be broken.
As to the Developer people continue to forget that the Developer is an entity (The Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc) and as an entity it is amoral it does not build for you it builds for profit and it will adapt and change to remain profitable without any notice as to how it affects residents
