I am in my second year on renting the same patio villa and will stay at least another year. I am lucky that I have an awesome monthly rental, fully furnished and a golf cart ( no extra charge ).

I have a friend who rents off Delmar, long term rental and she pays less than I do and all her utilizes are included in the rent.

I am also looking at long term rental.. My experience has shown me, it depends where the rental is located as to how much the rent will be each month.. A patio villa north of 466 usually go for 1200.00 - 1500 a month no utilities. The better the house the rent increases.

My experience has also shown me it hard to find a long term rental,, people will advertise a long term rental and than they inform me, that 3 months are rented ( winter months )...

I rent because I am undecided whether I want to stay in TV.. Plus, I am not sure I could afford to own a house, too many expenses....
