Default Need advice on rental

I've been looking for a rental for Feb and Mar 2017. A few months ago when I was looking no one would rent unless Jan was included. Unfortunately, we can not be here in Jan. I was told wait until the end of the summer or Oct. So I waited.

Now as I look, not only don't I see Feb and Mar availability, but many of the rentals now show only Jan and Apr availability. I'm stunned. This is only our second year renting and eventually we will buy.

Can anyone help me with some advice as to how to find a suitable place? My wife and I are non-smokers and we don't have any pets so there shouldn't be any barriers for us to rent.

Are there any real estate agents or organizations that can help? I've tried the Villages office but they say the months I want won't open up until Nov. We'd like to get something locked in earlier than that.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If you do a search on VillagersHomes4Rent.com and check the boxes for feb and march you will see many homes are available to rent. I just checked today. If you PM me I may know someone, too. Rae

We bought our home in October and listed it for rent during that next January. I think that's common, so keep checking daily on the rental sites and on this site. I only advertised here on TOTV. Good luck!

I would do two things. First check all internet sites every day. Second subscribe to The Daily Sun and have it sent to your home. Reality is someone will have to cancel an existing reservation for a variety of reasons. Village homeowners will then post an ad in the paper "due to a cancellation". It may not happen until January. Good luck.

I just did a quick search for Feb-March in The Villages on ****. There are 46 rentals available. Down Home Property Management has 13 properties still available.

edit: the **** is a popular vacation rental by owner site.

The Villages Daily Sun does have a web site, and the web site does list classified ads with rental homes listed. So if you are not currently living near The Villages, you can still look at the rental homes available.

The web site is: The Villages Daily Sun

Good luck, and I hope you find a home for this coming winter.
