We have a rental villa near Sumter Landing that we are renting out long-term. We currently have a one year tenant. I noticed on another post, that someone was renting out long-term and the amenities fee was not included in the rent.

We have the tenant paying all of the utilities, but we are paying the amenities fee along with the water and other things that are included in that.

I am curious as to whether others have the tenant pay the amenities fee or if they cover it themselves.

if you can get the tenants to pay for the fees normally included in the rent, then keep it up. I imagine your monthly rental fee would be less.

We include all the normal expenses into our rental fee..mortgage, insurance, taxes, amenities, yard and pest care.. yearly lease.... now short term lease is altogether different...we include everything and up the fees dramatically..

long term tenants pay the fees they generate...water, electric, cable and internet.

My question was about the monthly amenities fees. Do your long-term renters pay that or do you pay it? That's the one that's $145 a month but also comes with the water and electric and trash bill.

I think you will find what your asking "all over the board". It really depends on how much the rent is and your written lease/contract.

I had long term tenants and I paid the amenities myself and they paid their own electric, phone and internet.
BTW, electric is not included in the amenities/utilities bill. Electric is through SECO and is separate

I have a long-term rental and I pay their amenity fee. I've looked at a lot of rental homes since I built my home in 2012 and the first time I saw a tenant had to pay the amenity fee was when I saw that post. I wonder if The Villages will allow it?

Thanks Mixsonci and Sable, this is exactly the information I was looking for. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one that was paying the amenities fees for my long-term tenants . LOL!
