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?

We are purchasing in Dabney and are very excited! There is a major concern though. I have read some threads here and we know we don’t want VRBOs or short term rentals near us. Are there any places that guarantee this in the villages? We would like to take care of our new home and don’t necessarily want to to step into that kind of a mess. Any help would be appreciated.

FL law short term rentals require a business license. Deed restrictions can block businesses from being run out of certain homes in T V. Villas are one type. NO BUSINESSES can be run out of a Villa. Its just that T V does not enforce.

It’s a shame there is such bias against renters. Like posted above, many if not most home owners rented before buying. We have rented maybe a dozen times a month or 2 at a time and I must admit we were really disappointed that residents were not more friendly. 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.
