There aren't any specific "rental" rules, but there are specific "residency" rules. Kids under 19 can VISIT for up to 30 days per year. Theoretically, the landlord can claim they're just visiting - for a month. It breaks the spirit of the rule, but I don't know that it breaks the actual rule.
You /could/ try being a helpful neighbor to the tenants and offer that there aren't ANY recreation options for children under 12 (I think that's the minimum age to use ANY of the amenities other than the family pools), although there's a playground at the edge of Sumter Town Square they might enjoy.
And if they're there longer than a month, then it's time to have a chat with the landlord. If that doesn't work, then good luck getting the Villages or the CDD to do anything about it. They usually don't bother with anything internal, and community standards only deals with external (physical property) issues.
