Obviously few want the problems of a rental as their neighbor. Hopefully Sumter County steps in to rectify the swelling issue and preserve the Villages lifestyle while sub doing the rental influx. Laws can still be followed while requiring additional steps to make everyone happy.
It’s summer! Relatively few people want to come here to rent for a few months in the summer, even though I like it here in the summer. I have a friend who rents out either a suite in her house or the entire house. For six months a year she has no rentals. The suite is about $1500 a month, and the entire house is, I believe, $4,000 a month. Also, lots of houses available now may have bookings already for the winter months. So don’t worry.
