Pamelah, If you know what county the villa is in (either Lake County, Marion County or Sumter County), I would suggest that you go onto the tax collector's web site of that county and type in the address of the home you are renting. I have used this method in the past to verify that the person(s) I was sending my rental money to actually owned the house. Good luck with your rental and have a great time in The Villages.
