I have no idea where you got this information - it is totally untrue.

The villages keeps track VERY easily, it is called the Villages ID system. they even know the ages of all your guests through the guest pass system.... if you want them to use any of the amenities.

What I find amazing, is the number of people who buy in The Villages, in complete ignorance of the rules and regs. they have bought into!
Caveat emptor!!

Yes, this is America. No, we are not free to do anything we like. You signed a contract when you purchased your home as we all did. There are numerous restrictions in our community. In part, that is why so many of us bought homes here. Let's keep it that way. If you, or any one, wants to live somewhere where there aren't any restrictions, there are many options. The Villages isn't and won't become one of them.

DeafDeaf, strange screen name, unless you're a deaf person. If so, in 2016 when 35 deaf people sued The Villages Learning School which eventually caused it to close, did you advise them to leave well enough alone?

Amen!

Peace and Quiet?? Have you not been to a restaurant, the town square, or within one mile of a active pickleball court. Even at home reading TOTV can be a loud experience with everyone complaining all the time. BTW, I am just being sarcastic. :icon_wink:

This is a myth that will not die. Resales are subject to review and must be approved. It is done when the contract is signed. A resale can be stopped, if we approach the 20% limit.

Children respresent life. I will take life over "peace and quite" any day. I am not here to live in heaven's waiting room.

If you're a single owner, you only get 1 resident I'd. Not 2 or 4.

Kind of. Owners get green resident cards. People (like adult children or elderly parents) who are not owners but are permanent residents get blue resident cards.

I know. It is a bum deal for a single. It is like going to a golf course or a movie theater, paying for two or even four, but only getting one round or seat.

Please READ post # 17 by John W which quotes the RULE (LAW).

The rule (LAW) applies to both new and resales.

80% of the houses must have one permanent resident 55+. That person does not have to be an owner. The under 19 child issues is a separate (internal deed restriction) issue.

Not true we bought before we were 55, neighbors next to use bought he was 39 she was 34. No one in the house has to be 55, rules apply to the 80% rule

How is this right. The last thing I want is teens next door. We are thinking of moving to the villages because it is a 55. Community

Anybody know where i can get a copy of the deed restrictions if that is what it is called. And is it true that you have to use certain contractors to do work on your home supplied. By tv
