If you rent through The Villages Hometown Agency you are not allowed to smoke anywhere on the property, inside or out. So, they have no choice but to either smoke on the street, get permission to stand or sit in someone else's yard that is not under hometown's thumb, or quit smoking. I'm not saying that they should have chairs on the street but being on the street is where they have to be. I compare issues like this to having a neighbor that leaves their dog on the lanai barking all day while they are at work. My choice would be a couple months of people smoking and sitting in the street. Some might say I'm defending the actions of the tenants but that is not the case, it's just factual if they are renting through an agency that doesn't allow smoking anywhere on the property.
