Renting to the under 55 crowd

[trenbarg12]

I have tried to search this, but have been unable to find the answer(s) I need. I have been contacted by some summer interns that they need housing for the summer to work at the local hospital nearby. Since they are between 25-30 is it possible to rent to them. Then if they are able to do this what can they do with a guest pass if they are under 30? :bigbow:

[FLSun]

TV should jump through hoops to attract interns to The Villages. Offer them lots of amenities. Bend some rules. Recruit them to stay. Couldn't hurt to have many doctors at the pools, golf courses, recreation centers...

[villages07]

The only age restriction is no permanent resident 18or under, so age wise they are fine. Being 25-30 means they will have to use the Family pool and not the adult pool. Otherwise, they will have all the privileges of any resident, if you transfer your resident ID to them.... Exec golf, pools, rec facilities, sports courts, etc. or guest privileges...sort of same as above but with higher guest fees.

Might sound good but you have to treat "them" the same as you would any other person. This would be a very slippery slope. :ohdear:

[BettyCrocked]

I don't think the OP is necessarily referring to doctors. "Summer intern" usually refers to college students working in businesses.

[asianthree]

at 25 to 30 lets hope they are med students...summer interns come into hospitals to gain experience which is mandatory for their career...Lets be honest i would rent to them, just as others have rented to my three children when they went for summer interns....after all if they screw up it follows them for the rest of their lives and after you have paid by age 30 over a quarter of a mil for that education. they only have time to sleep eat and work with rarely time to themselves.

[rubicon]

The summer interns are seeking housing so they can work at the local hospital. I don't trust anyone under 65:.

Now I see the hospital part. No guarantee they are doctors, and I don't know if you're joking about the under 65 thing but I am pretty picky about who I rent to. Had a potential renter who informed me she would be bringing in her two daughters as well as her 3 grandchildren ranging from age 2 to 7. I held out for adults. My home isn't child proof and having a pool with a two year old is a recipe for disaster.

[mulligan]

those 2-7 grandchildren could only have stayed 30 days per year.

[BettyCrocked]

Yeah, she was bringing them in for 2 weeks of the 30 day rental.

What happens when you bend one rule? Don't the rules no longer have meaning. "Bend some rules." is not the answer.

Last summer I rented to 2 Interns from California. They were medical students in their last year of residency. They were students from UC San Diego and worked for 3 months (rotation) at the Veterans facility in Mulberry. My neighbors said they rarely saw either of them, they WORK during the day. They were 30 & 25. These people are living on student loans and YES, they provide a valuable service to our area. And they LOVED The Villages. Before their arrival they were in Colorado and after they left their next stop was in Tennessee.

Thank you for inserting facts and insights. Discouraging younger people from coming here will be the death knell of TV. We need younger people to work here to keep everything going. We don't want it to turn into Geriatric Estates, and I doubt it would ever become Daytona Beach either.

[Bogie Shooter]

Need to remember that it is a 55 plus community.

[jbdlfan]

Need to remember that it is a retirement community.

"Retirement Community"???? With the age of retirees creaping up every year, you might want to rethink that idea. I'm 48 and my wife is 45, we are here and enjoy ourselves quite a bit. We have the best kept home on our street because we do it ourselves!
You wont even know these young people are here. They will be working 12-18 hours a day! Not to mention, renting to them is well within the rules.

[ilovetv]

Age 55 does not automatically equate to "retired". Only certain career tracks retire at age 55. Many of us do not have a defined-benefit or pension plan, but have and are still working to build our self-retirement funds.

There are many people living here who are over 55 and are still working, in small businesses of their own in which they can finally be their own boss; or part-time nurses, technicians, etc. who work at the hospital; handymen, etc. etc. etc. There are many people still working because they like to keep their mind and hands active, and that's a good thing IMHO.

[faithfulfrank]

A 55+ community is deceiving.....I live in a 55+ community just south of here.

I'm only posting on this thread because this is the very last day I can ever say
I'm under 55

I turn 55 years old tomorrow. I bought in a 55+ community 6 years ago, and was never even asked my age. so, to some folks, tomorrow I will be "legal".
I work in The Villages most everyday.

I am a retired firefighter. Up north at the firehouse I was the second oldest guy on the Department. I was one of the "old guys". I moved down here and I'm "The kid".

Although retired, I work everyday climbing on roofs, crawling through attics, etc. I'm allowed to say that because I am an advertiser here on TOTV.

I do not mean to hijack the thread at all......just pointing out that one needs to be careful of stereotyping what an "under 55" person is. I am one....at least for one more day.....:icon_wink:

We built south of 466A and an easy observation is the younger Retirees that purchased homes in this new area of TV. As we know, 20% of residents may be below age 55 in a legal Adult community----TV, I believe, is well below that number. I believe the Developer keeps the numbers on age, however, in the case of a community that is "built out" like The Plantation, I wonder if number of residents below 55 records are kept.

[rhood]

We rented to three delightful young ladies from California last fall who were optometry students and interning at the VA Clinic. They were wonderful renters and have become good friends. They graduate this month and will become optometrists.

You should not be opening a rental to just anyone_ this is a 55+ community. They can rent outside of the village. READ BELOW!

DEED RESTRICTIONS! Follow the rules!

At least one person who is 55 years old or older must live in the residence. People who are 19 years old or younger may not reside in the villages, they can visit 30 days per year.

Here is a quote from The Villages deed restrictions page:

"Age Restrictions: The Villages is an adult community designed to provide housing for persons 55 years of age or older. All homes must be occupied by at least one person who is fifty-five years of age. Persons under the age of 19 years may visit for a maximum of 30 days per year but may not reside permanently in a any dwelling."

But, what if we could just attract some of these young, up and coming docs to TV 'cause it's so awesome and they experienced it for themselves. Okay, I know, on the other hand we could also attract gangsters and drug dealers except I'm not sure what we have to offer they would be so interested in.

you can still buy a home under 55...and no where does it state how old a tentent has to be, but no children under 19 for more than 30 days....our new neighbors are 44 and 46..very nice doctors, who are only here just short of three months a year

[blueash]

Seems like some confusion on language. A medical student is not an intern and not a resident. They spend 4 years post college in medical school (assuming we are talking MD degree). When they graduate they are doctors but no where near ready to practice medicine. The first year of post-medical school may be called a year of internship depending on the field of study or may be called a first year of residency. After completing that first year they become residents. So at least in medicine there is no such thing as "medical students in their last year of residency" You certainly can rent to anyone of any age just no kids for longer than 30 days. I don't know why medical students or lowly paid interns and residents would want to pay the price for a Villages home versus a nearby rental for fewer dollars. Of course it may well be their training program is picking up the bill. They'd likely be good tenants.

both of our kids as med students, and interns were give a stipend for rent thats why you usually get two..and staying in the villages in off season is a good deal they don't need a car... once they were a resident there was housing at the hospital

For the 5 years I rented my Florida home out I was always very cognizant of being respectful of my neighbors. One cannot legally discriminate of course, but I felt that I had an obligation not to rent to anyone who may be an irritant to my neighbors.

I knew that someday I would be here full time, and I did not want to start out on the wrong foot, chancing having neighbors resentful of me because they thought I did not care about the quality of our neighborhood life.

As it turned out, most all of our renters were embraced by our neighbors, and many of them in turn bought here and became neighbors themselves.

There seems to be some confusion or conflict here regarding the laws of a 55+ community and your Deed restrictions. I'm not sure how they coexist.....but of course I believe that if one buys in a community they should adhere to it's rules.

My friend (over 55) who has lived in TV for almost 2 years now works part time about 25 hours a week during the school year...she wants to keep one foot in the world of elementary education but not get totally submersed into it which happened to her for 35 years when she was a full-time teacher. Her neighbors (married couple, both a couple of years under 55) still work full time as hair dressers in Lady Lake. Last year at a trivia night event I met a TV resident who works full time as a nurse at the hospital in Leesburg.

In 2011 I rented in The Villages twice (Chatham and Sabal Chase). I was under 55. Both landlords knew I was under 55 as I had to give them my date of birth to get visitor's pass.

In 2012 I rented in the Villages twice (Mira Mesa and Summerhill). I was under 55. Those landlords also knew I was under 55.

Starting on Saturday I will be renting in Del Mar. I am 52 years and 7 months old. I am 2 years and 5 months shy of turning 55. The landlord I am renting from this time knows I am under 55 as I gave her my DOB to get a vistor's pass. Every time I have rented in TV I have not broken anything in the houses I have rented or trashed anyone's house. I have always gotten my full security deposit back when I have rented in TV. I would buy a home in TV tomorrow, but I still have to work full time for a few more years, and I don't know if I want the responsibility of owning two homes for several years. Just my 2 cents.

Reasonable, articulate, sensible and kind...as I have come to find all of your posts.

And Frank, one of our friends will be calling you today to inspect a home in the next three days. PLEASE do it for them. They have found a home they want to buy.

I have hijacked another thread.

But....on the subject of the original post. I log in as saying, I didn't move here to be in a community with a lot of MUCH younger folks. I paid good money to hang around with the sage ones.

[De Lis]

I like the idea of having summer (medical) interns come the TV, but I also totally agree with comment about NOT bending the rules. This is simply a recipe for disaster in the long run.

Something we all should know by now: DO YOUR HOMEWORK on anyone you rent to! No socioeconomic group is immune to breaking our laws.

Lastly, let's not forget the METH LAB that was busted a couple of months ago!

To start bending rules in this instance is opening up a slippery slope. However, I'm not clear on the apparent conflict between the deed restrictions about at least one resident in the home being 55+ and the 80-20 rule that allows persons younger than 55 to own or rent to the extent of 20 percent of the population. If the 80-20 rule is not part of deed restrictions, then where DOES it appear?

Just look at the young people at the pubs and restaurant's or at the squares.If I were looking to rent I would rather live in TV as apposed to other areas, just like when we bought TV won hands down to every other place we looked.

With everyone scratching their heads as to where the 65+ primary-care doctors will be found to staff the TV medical-home type healthcare clinics, in light of the existing shortage of primary care drs that's growing, it seems obvious that drs. or other medical people in training are a good thing to have here (no need to bend any rules).

They will have seen with their own eyes that TV is not a giant nursing home and they'd like to come here to work after finishing school/training. They would also tell others that it's fun, clean and lively, and not full of old crabby people like many who've never been here think.

[llaran]

Actually you can rent to anyone. If they want a guest pass there are restrictions, if not they can go to the restaurant's, movie, 18 hole courses, squares.

[asianthree]

will let everyone know when my 40ish docs come for their visit for the summer, of what they think of the villages..trust me when we first bought my three were thinking are you kidding us...so far none have visited so we shall see their view as each come for visits.

The 80-20 rule is part of the U.S. Fair Housing Act. In order for a 55+ community to be in compliance with the Act, at least 80% of it's residents must be 55 or over. Otherwise, it will lose its status and be declared an "all ages" community where families can buy. I'm guessing that this law would take precedence over the deed restrictions.

We lived in a 55+ community before moving here. One year the Association conducted a census in which we had to document our ages.

Amazing how many folks don't know how it works. The 80-20 statement is in our Declarations and Restrictions document. The intent is that 80% of the units must have at least one resident 55 or older. The developer has rules to assure that these percentages are maintained.

Although retired, I work everyday climbing on roofs, crawling through attics, etc. I'm allowed to say that because I am an advertiser here on TOTV.

I do not mean to hijack the thread at all......just pointing out that one needs to be careful of stereotyping what an "under 55" person is. I am one....at least for one more day.....:icon_wink:

Respectfully, Frank

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Frank

Clarifying these students are doctoral of optometry students that are doing their internship at the VA hospital. Your answers have been very helpful

The developer has rules to assure that these percentages are maintained.

Developer can't ask you how old you are when you buy a new house and doesn't keep those records. No one really knows what percentage of the households have one person 55 years of age or older. It's a catch-22 so the state can't enforce anything here.

With your DOB on the ID records, they know EXACTLY how old we all are.

there is no minimum (or maximum) age restriction regarding qualiifying to rent a home in TV.

The real qualifier is that a person is able to afford the monthly tab for renting here in TV...being interns or connected to the hospital does not make them more qualified than anybody else that age.....that can afford the rent!!

I say rent to the young interns..then sleep with a clear conscience.

It's not like we couldn't use some young folks around here, to help mitigate the constant crankiness of some of the doddering older residents. ;)
