does anyone know……..
 

wondering if there is an age limit on these rentals that occur in the villages….like over 55???? my friend lives in st. charles..and a home is being rented there for weeks at a time to much younger people in their 20's and having wild parties and staying up till 2-3 in the morning.just wondering if there do have a age limit since we are an over 55 retirement place…i think grandma rents the place for these guys…not knowing what is going on.
anybody know?????

If under 19, no more than 30 days. Anyone over 19 is free to rent in TV for as long they like and the homeowners will let them. I'd contact the homeowners or whoever is watching the house to let them know about the parties so they're aware of potential damage. I guess you could call the Sheriff for noise issues.

Yes, I would definitely contact the homeowner. It can be looked up by going onto the Sumter County Property Appraisers website. Put in the address and it will show who owns the property.
If I owned it and was unaware of what was going on, I'd want someone to tell me.

i thought this was a over 55 community???? so why are they allowed….why not just get a hotel???? does not make sense….

20% of housing can be occupied as owners in the villages under the age of 55.

no age restriction on rentals, including under 19.

So someone can rent with kids, read the C&R

Certainly I believe you with your son a lawyer, but I still feel skeptical.

You sure? Kids under 19 can only visit for thirty days a YEAR. That is a deed restriction.

What is C and R?

I didn't read the C&R recently (covenants & restrictions)

but it looks like there is loophole.

So, would it be legal for a grandparent rent their house to their adult son or daughter for $1 a month and have them live in the house with grandma full time - along with their 4 kids ages 2 years to 10 years?

Apparently

The law states a 55+ community can have up to 20% under 55, but does not need to allow anyone under the age of 55. Many people believe that a community must have 20% under 55, no so.

The kids under 19 can only be here 30 days per year.

The law actually reads that 80% of the HOMES must be occupied by AT LEAST ONE PERSON over the age of 55. It's mathematically possible, although very unlikely, that over 80% of the residents could be under 55.

As far as my understanding goes, no one under the age of 19 can live here permanently. People under the age of 19 may visit up to 30 days per year. If they go by calendar years, it would be possible for a person under 19 to stay for 60 days if they came in December and left in January. I don't know if that's the case and I admit that I haven't read the C&Rs.

In The Villages Declaration of Restrictions 2.24 it states,
