We rented out first month in the Villages. It was September and I’m sure there were many empty houses and rentals. It gave the owners some extra income to pay their amenity fees, lawn maintenance, irrigation, taxes, etc.
while the house was not in use. The house was very well taken care of.
We also rent our house in California on Airbnb for 3 months a year. That extra income while the house is not in use is very helpful to us. We keep the house in even better shape when we rent it because owners, as well as renters,
are rated on their experience.
I only know of one house in my neighborhood in TV that is a rental and I’m
unaware of any problems.
I owned a rental elsewhere for 14 years. The income from that rental helped us to be able to live TV. If certain people have large comes from other sources, I’m not sure they should hold it against others for earning income or supplementing their income while providing a service to others.
