My husband and I rented a CYV for 3 months when we first arrived. The house was beyond dirty and required us to clean it before moving in. If you hire a house cleaner, do make sure you have someone checking their work periodically because they may not have cleaned well or not to your satisfaction. Suggest the same for mowing, fertilizing etc.
When we were moving to our new home, I mentioned the house cleaning issue to the owner and she was very upset and fired the service. Apparently, it was the first time she used this service. She had a neighbor washing linen and making beds up before the renter moved in. Again, there's a number of things that may go wrong or be incomplete for a new renter.
Prospective renters who come to the Villages expect a good return on their rental fee and the appearance of the property is paramount for repeat business.

My wife and I am in the midst of buying a house in TV, Yeah! We are not financially quite ready to retire and move in yet but wanted to buy before the house prices went up any higher. So, we plan to rent our place unfurnished for a year or more.
The question is do we have the Villages rent our place or do we try to do it ourselves. I figure that you all probably could tell us how easy or hard the process of renting out a place is.
Lastly, I don’t probably know how to properly use the site so please up front, let me profusely thank you all! The few questions I have put up in the past have been met with greatly helpful answers and offers. You have all been so kind!!!! Thank you!
So………. Do you have any comments, suggestions, words or wisdom in regards to renting an unfurnished home at TV??
