Default Abandoned properties or not taken care of properties.

They have had two information filled articles on the not to be named online news. "They" will come and cut the grass and trim, but have to be notified each time. They place a lien against the property for the service. There is only so much anyone can do as the property does not belong to The Villages or to us. However some very good suggestions have been offered as to what neighbors can do. I think it wouldn't hurt to have an email campaign to the bank. One woman talked the owner into selling. She had moved away.

Thank goodness there are not a lot of them, but when they are near you they affect values in a negative way.
