Fact is the villages is simply a planned housing development with covenants just like a lot of other neighborhoods in America. It is governed by an elected governing board of a city or county. Here they call them CDD's. Any covenant enforced by a government body should be considered just like any other zoning ordinance. You cannot have a cow on your property in the villages because zoning ordinance to do not allow it. If there is a rental covenant that comes under the jurisdiction of the CDD it is just like any other zoning ordinance. I have not read the actual covenant on rental or commercial property. I assume it exists because people are talking about it. If the commissioners of the CDD will not enforce zoning then they are are are held accountable at the ballot box. The power is in your hands.

Exactly! It is about zoning ordinances. Posters have squawked at me for stating the same thing. Our ordinance is a 55+ community. If it falls out of that ordinance because of rentals, the rentals could be banned. This is a similar situation that happened in Clearwater. STRs we're banned because of zoning.
