It is highly unlikely that the couch, chair, or dining room table will be considered to be inventory for the purposes of the deed restrictions. It is also unlikely that the renter would be considered a customer/client for those purposes either.

You can argue it if you would like but you will still be wrong. You want to use your interpretation to make it a violation to have a short term rental but it will also affect long term renters. A renter is a renter if he is there one night, one week, or one month. Since it is not a violation to have a renter for one month then it is clearly not a violation to have a renter. If a renter is not a violation then a renter that stays for only one week would not be a violation either.



Be careful taking anything you read on here as correct. Just because a post claims something is a violation or a famous person has passed doesn't make it so.

WHY would the developer selling to an investor be a violation of the deed restrictions? Just because another poster said so? Who is this other poster? What are his qualifications for making such a claim? What is he basing his claim on? Posters on this site make all kinds of claims. You should know this, you've been reading these forums for some time now.

I gave my opinion of the rental situation above. But why assume an investor purchased a home to rent it out? With the way homes in the Villages appreciate, particularly in the last few years, what's to say the investor didn't purchase the homes to hold for 18 months and then sell at a profit? There would be no question of commercial activity because there would be no activity at all. How would that be a violation of the deed restrictions?
No idea I am not a lawyer. Seems we need a definition of no professional or similar activity. Not certain how you started talking about furniture. Deed restrictions says no inventory or customer/clients. We also would need definition of customer/client.
