First the neighbor, then after that...........it depends where you live. :ho:

Agree, neighbor first. Next time, police (trespassing and property damage) or have it towed.
Or do you consider that too extreme?

No, but it depends where your live who you call.............police or sheriff.

Renting rooms? May be in the same bracket as renting homes. Or, could be considered running a business.
Community standards should know or be able to direct you to appropriate department.
Good luck!

It might be interesting to determine if they are in compliance with paying all the taxes that may be due, both state and federal. Short term rentals?

No that is not too extreme.

When the were houses being built near us, the workers would sometimes park in front of our house and block our driveway. The Villages management would do nothing about it, so we called the Wildwood police. When they came by, one of the workers quickly came running out because he didn't want his car towed away.

We let the police officer handle it. No one parked their car in front of our house again.

The right answer , everybody seems to be a victim needing help.

Before anyone buys at the Villages, I strongly recommend the go through the Talk of the villages website before they buy here and then decide. Thanks for the transparency.

so who do you consider the victim? Sometimes folks who think they have the "right" answer have no real idea how an individual is affected by inconviences or what others consider minor damage(sprinkler). They are incapable of putting themselves in another persons shoes. So unless something happens to them that puts them off, think anyone else's issues must make them a "victim"(this word used in such a way as to make it seem untrue...aka: whiner).

Why not start with a conversation with your neighbor? People usually cooperate if you go about it in a friendly manner. My neighbor’s daughter used to park on my rocks and I told her I didn’t mind her parking in front of my house but that I would appreciate it if she could avoid my landscaping. Communication is key. We live close to one another and we need to learn tolerance. Avoid reporting others and start with a friendly conversation. Hope that works

Sadly we have been there. Our previous home we had the neighbors from hell buy the home next door to us. When, we moved to the villages I planned on meeting the neighbors before buying a home. Thus, I wanted a resale. Wife wanted new. So of course we bought new and we were first in. So far we have been lucky. In the villages, there is a high rate of turn over.

"NOT A HAPPY PLACE." Been there. If, it is bad enough. moving is an option. The post seems to read that it has gone on too long for a HAPPY resolution.

I respectfully disagree. Had I read this board before I bought, I wouldn't have even visited. This board is not even close to what you experience. If I went by this board, I would assume that TV is filled with bored disrespectful complainers, many times downright rude, who have nothing better to do with their lives that pick apart message board posts. I do run across the entitled villagers, but they are by far in the minority.

When people live together there will always be issues. That of course, there will always be issues, includes the villages.

I knew a person through my business, who lived in a planned community and had an issue over a tree that had been there for years. The architectural committee decided that he had to remove which was at the point of the complaint a rather large tree.
He decided to fight it. Last I heard he had paid HIS atty like 20,000. The irony was that he was also in his common charges paying the atty fighting against him. Before it was settled, he passed away. The property passed to his daughter. Who his daughter sold it to?

I met another person who married a duchess and they live in a castle on a huge tract of land. He and a neighbor are having a dispute over a several hundred year old tree.
that is over the property line. I recall him saying if it sits for another 50 years the tree will be grandfathered and not disputable.

Before moving to the villages, I became aware of an island off North Carolina that was for sale. It had a nice home. It was roughly 10 acres and it had a small herd of wild horses. Our own kingdom, me KING wife QUEEN. There is no life without disputes.
KING? The QUEEN refused to even look at it. My first KINGLY ruling was met with an immediate revolution.

REALITY-perfection does not exist anywhere.

[davem4616]

before we moved up to TV we had a home in an HOC...I was on the board...that was an eye opener

it doesn't matter how expensive and upscale an area is....there are always going to be a few jerks out there that never learned how to play in the sandbox...or keep the appearance of their yard up

It's almost impossible to resolve situations like what the OP posted...TV isn't zoned for boarding houses.... behavior is established back in the teen years

if you don't care to move, try to ignore it....and keep taking those high blood pressure pills

You said it better than I just did... :icon_wink:

[Hans53]

Thank you all for your input. Im not vindictive enough to report for running a business and not paying taxes etc. Also why should i move having been here first and loving the neighbors( all but one). I thought there was a villages ordinance of no on street parking.
Guess i will just continue to ignore.

[Babubhat]

Need video surveillance. Sue in small claims court. Show police the damage. That should get his attention

[Lottoguy]

Put that smartphone to work. Take photos when the tires are on the lawn, etc.

I'm confused by your run-on sentence. Are you saying that you park both your cars on the street to stop people from parking in front of your house and to keep dogs off your lawn? Is this why your home is not a happy place? If so, then you are not in compliance with the deed restrictions. Your cars should be parked in your driveway.

[dewilson58]

Find out where your front property line is located.

Most property lines are NOT at the street.
(I'm not talking easement)

[Dotneko]

I think that this board should require names and addresses of the posters.
The anonymous posting contributes to the snark and I, for one, would love to
know what neighborhoods to avoid. There are some literal and figurative cranky old farts on this board.

This type of situation can happen anywhere. Not unique to The Villages. In fact, saw a similar complaint on a neighborhood site in Michigan.

Sympathize with OP.

[keepsake]

A complaint to the county could get a neighbor is untold dodo. If they rent they cannot claim 100% homestead on the property. If they lose some of it, they won't ever regain it. They will be enemies forever that they live there. There are also punitive taxes if you rent for less than 6 months on a lease.

It’s tough when one tries to get away with doing what they shouldn’t, no?

[keepsake]

And it's fine when the county punishes him for renting one year. The punishment is non removable in later years. That part of the house is like it was resold the one year he decided to rent for. Taxes are rarely fair and amicable.

[Velvet]

Yes, I agree but they might be thinking once a cheater, always a cheater. What kills me is when they say ignorance of the law is no excuse. I mean, sometimes one really doesn’t know every single regulation.

It galls me for you to use the word 'cheater' -- our world is full of new taxes and codes that you have to be a lawyer to even comprehend, let alone know about. One can live in their home and come up short paying bills so they want to rent a room to make ends meet. We don't need govt folks coming in a reassessing our place ever. You must have worked in govt or taxation in your previous life.
Another example is the FL tax on rentals. Used to be 30 days or longer was exempt from collecting tax for. Then it became 3 months. Now its six months or less you have to report to county tax collector UNDER PENALTY OF JAIL TIME.

No, never worked in gov’t, I was just speculating. The penalties seem pretty stiff, I must say.

In my area Only in CYV and maybe patio villas where the roads are too narrow for street parking, also diamond lane streets. I don’t understand why the have to park on you’re grass? Plenty of room in street at least in my area.

Why they have all the tax codes and exemptions so they get out of paying taxes. That’s why flat tax will NEVER be passed. So the tax cheats can hire lawyers to get them out of paying taxes. Why? Cause lawyers write tax laws for rich.

Good luck!

If the neighbor is renting one or more room to a non family member, while living in their home, then they are violating two deed restrictions. First, the home is not being used as a single family residence, and second, they are running a business out of their home. Call community standards.
