How do you track occupancy of AirbNb and other rentals?

They may monitor the ownership but they can't possibly monitor who is actually living here.

1. HUD does not require continuous monitoring so the turnover rate of a unit is irrelevant
2. Use the age provided on the Guest ID of the last known occupant of the unit
3. If the age cannot be determined, count it as under 55+

I've been checked just once in the five years I've lived in The Villages. I was never checked when I came for vacations or my lifestyle visit.

That's not including country club pools where they have a dedicated employee present to scan all IDs upon entry.

We are checked every week at Laurel Manor and we have been attending those groups for thirteen years. (Except during the pandemic.) The first thing everyone does before they get their art or crafting items out is to put their I.D. card on the table.

I've been checked just about every time I've been to our pools...

So if you aren’t 55, your family, friends delivery and repair guys are turned away at Stone crest? Then one doesn’t have to worry about their kids visiting.

Yea, I didn't understand it either.

55 & Over has nothing to do with a red-button or a card pass or guards.

I'm sure you're right.

And "unenforced?" Let's see some data to prove that.

My daughter was interested in buying a new build at age 44. The agent "applied" and we were told she was refused. We were told we could buy it (well over 55) and after 1 year transfer ownership to her. Effectively a resale.

What was the reason she was refused? We have new residents in our village in their 30s closing next month. They stopped to introduce themselves, asking who service our pool.

If 80/20 rule was a problem agent would have offered Middleton homes to your daughter so not to lose the sale

Anyone age 18 or older can BUY a home in the Villages. But they can't live there til they're 19, and they wouldn't be allowed to join the competitive sports leagues til they're 55 I believe - and they can't use the adult pools or sports pools til they turn 30.

Why 18? Because that's when you are legally an adult and can sign your name to a deed. Of course, if you're emancipated, you can be as young as 16. If I had won powerball when my parents were retiring, back when I was in my 20's, I totally would've bought them their choice of retirement home. But no I wouldn't have wanted to live in their house in their retirement community.

Fake News!

A Grantee does not have to "sign [their] name to a deed".

A "minor" can own property in FL (& most states).
