Yes I understand, if it hasn't happened to you it is not a problem but future buyers have a right to know that the problem exists and they could be impacted. This is not necessarily the "over 55 retirement community" that they are led to believe.

Why do people keep doing this??? The post to which you replied stated that the percentage is small. They did not state or imply that because it didn't happen to them, it was not a problem. The implication of the post to which I am responding is the the person is self-absorbed or uncaring.

It would have been so easy to say, "while the percentage is small, future buyers have a right to know that the problem exists and they could be impacted." Or, if one disagrees that it is a small percentage, they can state that, and possibly even provide support why. Why is it necessary to make those other implications??? But then again, if the high road was taken, I would having nothing else to do other than nap or play golf.

I find it remarkable that people would rather break down another's post and feel the need to correct the wording. Why not just answer the OP question. Do you know of areas in the Villages where there are no VRBOS and STRS?

I believe several posts have stated there is no guarantee.

I know there is a unit in Fenney that did not allow any rentals, but you would have to research through The Villages

Welcome to T V! Not to be mean but... that's funny...

No, T V does zip to protect residents from ABnB's and short term rentals. Nope, nada. They do protect their own finances by you agreeing not to sell your home for a profit for 1 year.

FL requires a business license for some types short term rentals. Villa deed restrictions specifically say no businesses can be run out of a Villa. T V does not enforce their deed restrictions for Villas.

There is a neighborhood in Fenney that was a non rental neighborhood. But you would have to buy pre owned if any were available there.

That is not how the restrictions read. Words matter.

Did you not just do the same to my post???

That answer has been provided many times over in this thread. If you want the thread closed, propose that to the admin. I wonder if readers realize that the post that I responded to in no way answered the question either. Yet it was my post that was singled out. hmmm Once again, pot, meet kettle

BTW, I didn't correct anyone's wording. I provided an example of how easy it is to make a (the poster's) valid point without having to attribute words to someone that they didn't say, and then to disparage them for saying those words (that they didn't say).

Do you support attributing words to someone that they didn't say, and then disparaging them for that? just wondering.

Don’t even think a designer home neighborhood is rental free, far from it. We have a designer home and have rental issues.

We absolutely loveThe Villages but at the time couldn’t buy for family reasons but the fact that the residents seemed so UNFRIENDLY made us delay our decision even more.. We were great renters and stayed in some beautiful homes. We tried to establish neighborhood friendships with no luck at all, very unfriendly place. It wasn’t until recently we realized there was this renter bias. Not fully understanding it sure gave us a bad impression. Think about it the next time you aren’t friendly and welcome a renter. Like us they may feel they are residents just waiting for the right time to buy. We probably would have a house in The Villages if residents would have been more friendly.

We had the exact opposite experience when we rented for 2 months during the Winter of 2021...

The neighbors and people we met and talked to in the Squares and Restaurants and when out walking our dog couldn't have been nicer when we asked questions and showed interest in buying...

We wound up buying during that time frame and we couldn't be happier.

We're still not full time (we come and go as much as possible and we DON'T rent out when we're not in TV), but we're counting the days until that happens...
