Close call on Heron
I recently was paired with one of the owners who told me about this, and told me that the Villages paid ZERO dollars for the damages, Act of God exemption. Could be I was told a tall tale, or not. Clearly in the Heron case, Villages owned tree, Villages maintained tree, on a path TV makes you use on their course and a tree their employees (ambassadors) have the opportunity to assess regularly for damage or weakness. If all those circumstances are not enough to create liability then I wouldn't count on liability for your AC unless you had previously complained about a dangerous situation to TV and they failed to act. |
Some of the things I have been told as an absolute fact here in The Villages, weren't. Sweetie comes home with "valid" information from his golf partners that turns out to be hearsay and repeated gossip. Contractors and subcontractors have repeated to me things that were not the truth but they believed them to be so.
There is a bunch of folks who dislike the developer that believe, and want to believe all negatives said about him. I don't think that is you Blueash.
But I am just as culpable as to believe the Morses et al will not step back from paying if it was their tree..... But they won't if someone is trying to squeeze some bucks from them because they have a lot of them.
When we moved into our new home we bought a new clothes dryer and it was delivered and the delivery person knocked a big chunk out of the concrete stoop at the front door. I called warranty, telling them that it was not their responsibility but I wanted to hire the concrete person and painter to repair the damage done by our "agent". I told them, yet they came out and repaired and painted the stoop and did not charge us.
I don't see the developers as shady or unscrupulous. But I don't see them as stupid either.
And sometimes folks you meet casually misrepresent themselves. When we were building our new home we visited each evening and ran into many people walking through our home under construction who told us that our house was their house. We complemented them on their good taste.
