Following this advice makes you the bad person.

Chances are, given how many people have guns in Florida, there is a good chance that a criminal has one... maybe he does or maybe he doesn’t.

Nothing! As long as sales keep on track.

It is near impossible to prove that there is a roommate and I don't recall seeing that not being allowed on my deed restrictions. As long as they are keeping the home in good condition on the exterior, I don't think anything can be done about who is living there unless it's a child under 19.

So what’s limit per household 15?

There is a known drug house a couple of blocks from us. A too common story in TV of the grandfather was ill, druggie kids moved in, and now they continue to inhabit the house.

Sherriff is there about every 2 months but the legal system just spits them back out and nothing changes. The homes on either side are for sale with no takers in over 3 months.

Sadly, I don't know there is anything community standards can do as long as they maintain a minimum standard of care. I guess they will eventually be arrested long enough to lose the house.

This isn’t by any means meant to be nasty or anything but how would anyone wanting to buy a house know the circumstances of the house next door

How? Under normal circumstances, talk to the neighbors. We did it while they were outside, no knocking on doors. And visit the potential home and stay around to see what’s going on. There may still be surprises but fewer.

Yes there are people...

who call it tattling...those are usually the ones not following the "rules". Adults feel it's okay to rat out those who can't follow simple rules simply because they find it "inconvenient". We call them "entitled"...or old kids...some quite unpleasant when you tell them...

Ask the neighbors if you are truly serious about buying a house.

What a crying shame!

I believe that it's two people per bedroom.

What a crock. You should be ashamed of yourself.
