I agree that short term rentals should be prohibited, but a 6 month minimum is harsh. We have made friends with a couple that rents for 2-3 months every winter, have been coming to the Villages for years, and are excellent tenants. There are also a couple guys in my winter golf group that rent for three months every year. The much bigger problem are people renting out their home by the week, or worse yet by the night. I think a one month minimum rental would be appropriate.
