Developing a rental contract here in The Villages is much different than in many other parts of the country. There have been many well blogged cases of people entering into a long term agreement and having it breached right after high season.. the tenants paying the lower monthly rate through the high season then suddenly coming up with a lame reason of early termination. Thats why rent collection is done well ahead of move-in time, monthly payments are skewed to insure maximum rent through high season etc. In my fairly extensive rental experience, I've only been torched once, by a Canadian Couple - I got a judgment, but culd never figure out to get the RCMP execute the demand for collection or institute a lien. I have garnished wages, put liens on properties.. but these were few and far between, and all done without legal assistance. Should someone try and take advantage of me, I can assure you that someone's credit record would be destroyed and all means would be executed to collect what was mine and lien anything and everything in sight.
