From the renters point of view! We have rented each of the last two years, for the month of April in '11, and Feb. and March in '12. We found the first rental on villages4rentbyowner and dealt directly with him, as he gave us the keys and the info we needed when we arrived. The second was acquired by posting our desire to rent on TOTV. We have already rented the second one for next February and March through the owner. He uses Redwitch, a regular contributor to this forum, as his home watch person, and I have never met him personally. Red met us when we came in and gave us the keys and the basic tour. Our landlord had put together a binder with most of the information about the house and the Villages that anyone would need to get started. We did all the negotiations and paperwork via email and regular mail and it has gone swimmingly. We treat the rental as our own and both years we spent the entire day before we left cleaning everything as if we were staging the home to sell. Both of our landlords have praised us for the way we left their home, and we were extremely pleased with the way they handled the process.
