The Villages as far as I know have no rental restrictions. We do not have A Hoa per say and we do have the precedent of selling/renting to persons under 55 with no one in the household being 55. If you get involved in a Fair housing problem you better have deep pockets and a very good attorney. Just do a search on fair housing.
I know of one case in Ohio of a lady that has a $75,000.00 judgement because she suggested that a handicapped person would be better off in the downstairs unit of a duplex she has rented for years because they applied for the upstairs unit. The checkers are the only form of legal entrapment that I know of.
We owned and operated a B & B for 22 years, just 3 rooms, and I know of at least 4 times we had checkers drop in. I could be wrong but I am not risking my property. I also know of 3 Landlords here that do not charge sales tax and I know the state is auditing Landlords for past due tax. The tenant is not responsible to pay the sales tax if the Landlord is audited the Landlord is.
