Resident passes
 

I am rather new to the Villages, but am coming with 2 other lady friends in a rental property for the month of Jan. We are learning that there are only 2 resident passes connected with a property. I am asking what can I do to get a 3rd? We all are active and want to participate in many activities, but are told that one of us will have a guest pass which is very limited, especially during busy season.. Can we pay for someone to relinquish a resident pass and of course we would pay for the transfer. Help us. We are concerned. Judy Lorigan, Pittsburgh, Pa.

If you rent for a month you will get 2 resident passes, as a resident you can go down and get a guest pass for the other person, same privileges and that is not taking advantage of the system, that is how the system works. What do owners do that have their adult children living with them?

Resident with adults over 19 can have a special resident pass, or if they on the deed you can have up to 4 resident passes

not same privileges
 

Guests can do many things, but they cannot participate, for example, in organized water aerobics and other activities

Forgot about that, they do not have access to the sports pools being here for only a month they will have plenty to do and if they want to use pools there are plenty of neighborhood adult pools as well as the family pools.

The monthly amenity fee you pay is based on 2-adult occupancy. That is why you can't just say "hey there's 3 of us, give me another pass."

Exceptions can be made but they are exceptions. The limitations for guest passes aren't "very" limited. Guests can still participate in most activities.

They are renters...they don’t pay an amenity fee.

They do indirectly. The landlord pays the amenity fee on that property with the rent they receive from the renters.

You can call the Rec. Dept. they will help you get the passes.

Our daughter who lives with us is on the deed so she is a homeowner. Plus, next September she will be 55. I have no idea how we have such old children. We are indeed blessed to have our Helene.

Every child should be considered an accepted modification to the norm, but anyone living with a resident that commits a crime should immediately be removed from The Villages.

I was there last year with a guest pass, and was asked to leave an exercise class and a bridge group because I didn't have a resident pass. You may be right when it's not crowded, but when it is full you will be asked to leave. Very embarrassing. Trying to avoid this with three people this year. We were also not allowed in several swimming pools

To get a resident pass you have to pay $50 (or your landlord) and there are 2 per rental unit. As for the pool everyone is allowed in all pools except for priority pools that are located at some country clubs. If anyone wants to use a priority pool they have to pay for the priority membership. You weren't excluded because you didn't have the right pass. It was because you didn't have a priority membership.

Removing people from their houses is not something we do in America. It's one of the freedoms that we have because so many have sacrificed so much to protect it.

I believe that the sports pools in the Regional Rec Centers are residents only, no guests.

They usually are issued a 'non-owner resident card'. These are blue rather than green and carry all the rights of an owner.

Unfortunately, classes fill very quickly in the winter and the class leaders are often forced to set priorities as to who gets in. As far as pools, you must have been at a sports pool or a country club pool. All family pools and neighborhood pools allow guests.

The monthly amenity fee paid by the homeowner (whoever that happens to be) is based on two occupants, not three.

The point stands, regardless of whether you (personally) acknowledge that the word you (general) can be used generally in addition to specifically.

Residents give up ( or should do) their Resident Passes to their renters and become Guests.. so why should Guests be entitled to ask for more that 2 Resident Passes. the guest pass covers most facilities.. except regional Rec Pools, and some Golf courses, and "wait your turn" to sign up for activities, residents/renter first... Learn to wait in line. Try coming in a quieter time to TV then you will be able to use more facilities.

The country club pools are only for residents who pay for a priority pool membership. The sports pools at the regional recreation centers like Rohan, Eisenhower etc. are for residents only. The pools at Villages rec centers like Manatee, Bradenton etc. are available to guests and children. The neighborhood pools are available to guests over 30. Up to four people may have resident passes, providing they are all on the title.

why should Guests be entitled to ask for more that 2 Resident Passes. Cause that's the rule?

except regional Rec Pools, Which ones?

some Golf courses Which ones?

to use more facilities Which ones?

So... Can anybody give up their resident pass to another person if they're not planning to use it, even though that person is not renting to them?

In other words, if I, an owner, am going to be away for a month, could I give up my resident pass for that period of time to a person renting a house down the street?

Yes they do. It is part of their rent. Believe me, for what they pay in high season, they are covering the amenity fees, probably for the whole year.

I don't know what the official ruling would be, but I can tell you based on the form that you could probably do it, you just have to give up your card, fill out the form, and pay the $50.

The reason I asked is because maybe the OP or the person she's renting from could find a resident's pass from another person who isn't using it for some reason (going to be away, illness, whatever...).

The OP might ask their rental agent if they have another rental that is not using both their passes that month.

The ID's are tied to the unit. So, my guess is that you can not hold an ID from a unit that you are not occupying. Of course, one phone call would get the answer.
