I'm not sure what "committee" a previous poster is referring to, but you can check the deed restrictions online (districtgovdotorg) (districtgov.org, I think) to see if it is restricted to single family residence. My guess is they cover that and you cannot add-on an additional unit.

I think there are some who have maybe added an in-law suite with maybe an additional doorway out to a patio or lanai, but probably accessible inside thru either a hallway or interior door. But - I don't know this for a fact.

Some people rent their homes during the high season for a month or two if they have somewhere to travel or a place to stay. You cannot make available a resident rental pass (the $50 one with free golf and access to popular activities like exercise classes) if you keep yours, nor can you get a regular guest pass for yourself if you are staying with a friend/relative if you are a resident of Lake, Sumter or Marion counties.

Would likely need to clear out closet and dressers in at least the master bath/bedroom and guest bath and tell the tenant you will have things stored in the other bedroom(s).

Some tenants (those who don't play golf or go to the popular activities) are ok with a regular guest pass, but it should be disclosed up front to the tenant.
