You are entitled to your opinion. But....Have you lived next door to an STR in the Villages? It is easy to say they are not a problem if they are not in your neighborhood.

Just another reason more people are leaving Colorado than moving in. Really sad as it is a beautiful state.

I don’t care what they do in their own house. I care what they do in the squares, the rec centers and the pools. As well as how they treat the staff that serves us. They come with an expectation that they can do what they want, how they want, and when they want. This is our HOME. NOT A RESORT.

The largest owner of rental properties owns 37 properties in TV, verified by the lady in the office. He lives in TV, we met him when we were picking up our ID’s in SS from our long term.

Very personable, glad to answer questions. 1/2 are long term, except for 3, the rest were mandatory 3 month rentals. He did comment on STR’s becoming the norm in new villages, instead of seasonal rentals

The squares are public spaces and you have no business telling non-villagers they can’t be there. Whether you like or not, renters are entitled to use the pools and recreation facilities.

I have no idea if I live next to an STR because I mind my own business. Again, what rules are they violating that upsets you so much? Or are you just mad because you stalk your neighbors and you’re not seeing the same people every day in and day out? That’s a ridiculous reason to be upset. Stop stalking your neighbors.

No, I didn’t. But you admit renters aren’t the problem because full time residents are capable of all of these problems you just listed. I know for a fact TV didn’t do a criminal background check on you before you purchased your house so why exactly does the owner of an STR have to do one on everyone else to appease you? The level of entitlement is just astounding.

Who cares… just another wacko liberal run State

Predator
 

If a sexual predator does move in, they have to register. This gives everyone forewarning to prepare and adjust or avoid circumstance. A renter can come in for a week and be gone.

Or a Liberal.

Yes
 

Almost as bad

I do not stalk my neighbors. I have no reason to. I do, however, listen to those who live on streets with many strs. Driveways and streets are blocked, trash is left out which attracts wild animals, knocking on your door to ask questions or to borrow something, shouting and yelling etc. The renters are the stalkers. You go outside and they bombard you with question after question. You have no peace. Remember: this goes on again and again as renters come and go.When you report them, you are told "Sorry, we can't do anything because they are renters."

I do not live by an str. When I want to leave my home, I have no worries that my driveway will be blocked. I do not have to pick up strangers' scattered trash. Strangers do not knock on my door on a regular basis at all times of the day. When I walk my dog, I can enjoy the sun and fresh air. I am not a stranger's target and I do not have to answer their many questions as I walk by. Every resident in the Villages deserves the same as I have.

How many strangers could you deal with per week, month, or year at your home? I'm guessing, not many!

Anyone else smell the stench of a revolving door short term slumlord somehow trying to justify their inconsiderate neighborly actions?

But if they’re that bad you would them to move on whenever their stay is up. Imagine if they stayed?

But if they establish rules that stop STR’s then it will stop all the people coming here and eventually buying. Believe me, you don’t want that. Property values will plummet.
