These two websites which seem so similar are completely different from each other.

With thevillagesforrentbyowner.com the renter is dealing with a professional company, in this case, JD Management.
Having rented my place through three different companies, including The Villages Property Management, I can attest to the terrific attention to detail, efficiency and reliability of JD Manangement and how important that is for the renter.
Even if most individual owners who rent their properties in The Villages are honest, conscientious landlords, I submit only the very best of them put together a package as outstanding as JD Management, which requires that every property meet literally hundreds of specific standards. Some individual owners simply don't know how to make their places completely and attractively furnished. Some aren't objective about good and bad points of their properties.
In short, unless the renter has direct knowledge of a property, there is significant risk in dealing with a individual owner as opposed to a highly recommended professional company.
