We have an exact situation going on with the home next door to us. Been sitting empty since May & has been turned back to the bank which happens to be in California. All of us in the neighborhood have been complaining complaining & complaining. Yes eventually the lawn, which for the most part has been lost, will get mowed if that's what you want to call it. The most recent " mowing" job was literally done with a weed whacker so you can imagine how that enhanced the appearance. Shrubs have not been tended to since last spring. I personally went to the deed restriction office this week complaining about the shrubs and mentioned that I am very close to doing the trim myself and I was told not to do it as it could be considered trespassing. It is my understanding that the complaints have to constantly be made, The Villages puts on the pressure to the owners ( banks etc) those property owners then contact fly by night property management co who bid for the jobs & eventually the winner of bid shows up & mows weed whacks or whatever to a few blades of grass and its a done job until a few weeks later we start making the complaining phone calls and the whole fiasco starts all over again in the same exact scenario. It is pathetic. I was told on Monday at the office " lets hope it sells". Not sure how that can happen when in fact there is nothing on the property indicating its for sale. I really thought we were protected from living near this type of situation. BTW, this is in the village of Polo Ridge.
