How Could You Write a Rental Agreement....
When we rented in 2007, it was through The Villages and then through a property manager the other years. We did remit a $500.00 deposit in all cases and knew that we would be liable for any damage more than just the use of the place. We believed this community to be age restricted too. These people should be held responsible for any damage done to the home. I would have hoped that the owner of the home was smart enough to take a healthy deposit.

If a landlord in TV wanted references I could certainly provide some. And if they want to verify my employment and credit history, I would be glad to provide that information. |

Looks like the "us" (55 and over) vs. "them" (young adults) argument again. You don't think meth labs aren't ever run by 55 and overs?

How's that reasoning....and in case you think I'm wrong, look at that picture AGAIN of the 25 year old girl who was busted.

Sorry, but I think your reasoning is flawed if you do not believe SOME meth labs are run by those 55 and over.

It's wise to invest in a background and credit check of prospective tenants and clearly state in leasing agreement exactly who will be living there.
Regardless of how much due diligence a property owner does, there's no guarantees. People violate agreements all the time and many agreements are non-enforceable once it hits the fan. A homeowner who rents their property needs an advocate who lives in the neighborhood to keep watch or they should hire a rental property manager to avoid possible misuse of their home. |

The key to the 80% rule is homeOWNERS not homeRENTERS.
When I BUY a home, they apply the rule. The homeowner can then rent to whomever they want. I owned a rental home for 6 years here in TV. Many times our home was rented to people under 55. Mostly, they were visiting family that owned homes here. |

Thanks for educating me. That makes it extremely difficult to track the 80/20 rule. Thanks for posting. |

You're welcome. The good news is...you (as a homeowner) don't have to worry about the ages of your renters. It is up to TV to track and report that data. I can only assume that the known occupancy ratio of 55+ is so far over the required 80%, that rentals aren't (at least for the time-being) much of a concern to TV.
