Not so much; people can file complaints about your property anonymously and you never understand why someone was bothered by whatever it was. The Villages Properties will sell you property that is out of compliance, but you are expected to spend money to bring it back into compliance. People are rude, entitled, and believe they are privileged. You are charged for water or electricity you didn't use and there is nothing you can do.

Yes you need to rent for at keast a year before buying. If we had done that, I don't think we would have bought and moved here.
With lot premium some houses new and preowned are already at a million and up. If you were sited for a compliance issue, you went against deed restrictions, that you signed at closing. Unless you lived as a hermit prior to TV there has always been rude, entitled, and privileged people.

Have you investigated your water and electricity issues, sounds odd, but depends on where you live.
