If you don’t, you are a landlord or you have never had the disconnected temporary living next to you.

From what I have seen the Villages, not only doesn’t ban rentals it encourages them.

They have a property management company that advertises to homeowners, they have a system making convenient to get resident IDs for renters, they allow air bnb and have few restrictions on short term rentals. When buying property villages real estate agents offer advice on which homes rent the best.

Even on this forum, new members are often encouraged to rent homes before they buy to get a feel for the place.

Banning rentals seems really unlikely.
