Not sure if you have rented before, but let me say this -do a thorough investigation on the people...ask all kinds of questions and then some more.
One would think that most renters will be about our age...not true
That they will be honest filling out the application...not true
And they will treat your home with respect...not true.
We have had renters say it's just 2 people...then children tag along....like 3!!!
We had a renter turn our house into a grow house and destroyed all our furniture and carpets...cost us thousands.
On the small side....I like to have a lovely throw at the end of the bed, matching bath towels plus I provide a beach/pool towel. Funny those towels have all grown legs.
My cleaning person tries to do inventory each time, but things get missed...so by the time I get back there, 2 or 3 sets of renters have come thru...hence...who to blame.
We have since mounted a security camera outside hopefully to prevent any theft.
One more very large item.....be sure your renter has some sort of liability policy of their own...if they are using your fully insured golf cart and they have some sort of incident that could somehow end up in court...well you want to be protected.
I certainly don't want to come across as bitter or not in favor of renters, I'm just saying things can happen and they do.

Thanks for the input! This one is through property management. I use Gunn Property Services. Jeremy does a great job with other rentals that are not in The Villages.
