When my wife and I first purchased our courtyard villa we knew all of the villa developments included rental properties and we thought some of those might be leased to full time residents and others during " the season " be rented to grandparents and couples on vacation with perhaps a few also being let to younger families. That was precisely the case until now.

What we did not bargain for was the rental villas being used as rented " bunk houses " for labor gangs consisting of 30 year old males all driving pick ups who are working either for the developer or the other commercial entities within the Villages area. That is exactly what is happening in our villa neighborhood and it is something the Village relator is probably not going to mention when trying to sell you a house.

Evidently some of the speculator owners do not care along with their rental agencies about this as long as the monthly rent check continues to arrive in the mail. This situation might exist with some of the less expensive designer home rentals as well.

We just keep watching the oil spots in the driveways of the units in question grow in size.

There are a lot of villa neighborhoods and a lot of people who post on here from a lot of them and this is the first we have heard of this. People get high prices for their homes and are careful who they rent to, they ARE their HOMES. There are always exceptions but I am skeptical.

I am asking the OP, whose first post it is, how many homes are involved and in what neighborhood, and I bet I won't hear back.

In new neighborhoods there are always more rentals as people wait until they retire to live in them year 'round.

We moved out of a million dollar condo, after living in it less than 6 months,--in 2009 during the housing crisis- the condo ass. only cared about receiving dues--they ignored rental rules & allowed units to be rented to spring breakers on a weekly basis-

couldn't stand it came to the villages to see a polo match & bought a house the next day--got lucky sold the condo to a young DR. fairly quickly

What th OP says is very plausible.

This is why the most important deed restriction should be limiting rentals to immediate family.

Of course, those who think they are retired real estate magnates would complain.

And the esteemed and beloved developer would lose sales.

Minimum rentals 90 days @ a time

Hey OP. Come back and tell us WHAT neighborhood.

The OP joined TOTV 3 years ago. Would imagine they are not a troll or would have done so much earlier.

GG, not everyone spends every waking hour on this forum. Give the OP a chance to respond, if he or she will.

Rentals of units? See the above comments.
Please do not attack me, this is the truth.
1. Rentals go to many persons, remember the trucks in driveways, leaking oil, with bales of hay or Alfalfa?
OK, persons participating in the Polo grounds activities, they even had the horse food in the truck. Discussed it with one cowboy.
2. Rental across the street and nearby, is for a couple of days, not to relatives, not to any restriction of any kind we know of.
3. Rental units driveways are being loaded up with patterns of black oil. Even maintenance persons are not supposed to but they do park there.
4. Rental units have a wide variety of activities, will not go into that.

No need to go after me on this, it is factual, we have seen it. Prefer not to dwell on it.
It seems when you buy a home, the sales person has a real good story. That story ends with a different set of facts, the day you close.
It is everywhere as far as we know, not just the Villages. Money talks and promises walk.

Some, but not everyone. Some also do not understand that red "offline" signal.

Probably El Cortez CYVs. I rented there seems lots were exclusively rental properties due to the closeness of square. Weekly, monthly, or longer was the rates. Even the lady next door complained about all the rentals properties that been brought up. She also didn't like temporary people in the Chula Vista pool. I liked that area, but at the time nothing was for sale.

Probably same in all the older villa's in district one and two
