Default Deed restrictions cannot be changed

Deed restrictions are not HOA or Condo Association Rules. Deed restrictions can only be changed by the original title holder who established the restrictions, and only then prior to the first title transfer.

The Villages Compliance people, by requiring that Deed Restriction Enforcement be “complaint driven” are violating the spirit of the law. All of the deed restrictions should be enforced by an entity given the authority to do so by the CDDs without regard to whether a resident complains.

Investments were made based upon material representations contained within the deed. There was no written disclosure that enforcement was arbitrary or selective.
