I have rented out my CYV for over 4 years, now we're moving down in mid-October for about 7 mos. We have two 8-10 day trips planned and are having friends stay in our house while we're gone this winter. We will turn in our IDs and get them resident guest passes so they can golf for free on the executive courses, and use the sports pools.

I think it would be a good idea to write up a statement saying they are dog or house-sitting, and not renting. Have them sign it, then if you are ever audited by Florida, you can easily access info to support your case. I don't think The Villages turns anything in to the Fla Dept of Tax Revenue, it's just that if someone is trying to pull something on them, the Villages ID records would probably be investigated. That's why I think the statement would be a good idea to keep in a file somewhere.
