Your quote regarding one person residing in the home must be 55 and over is inaccurate. You must be 19 years or older in order to reside permanently in the Villages. Under 19 can reside for up to 30 Days per year. We bought and moved here permanently full time at 45 and 51. We had our home built by the Villages who were well aware of our ages. Short term renters under 55 are ok as long as its for 30 days or less. Check the fine print of your covenants.

Secondly our deed restrictions state:
Section 1. The Subdivision is an adult community designed to provide housing for persons 55 years of age or older. All homes that are occupied must be occupied by at least one person who is at least fifty-five (55) years of age. Note it says occupied and not owned.
That sounds like 2 violations to me.
