Would it be less of a problem if the renters spoke English?
Most deed restrictions do not prohibit rentals of any length of time. Renting is not the type of business prohibited in the restrictions.

Had the same thought about what language the renters speak, (assuming you were thinking along the lines of cultural prejudice ?) what would it matter what language people speak who come here to rent in a retirement community. But then as I considered it further: perhaps the person asking was not really coming from some kind of "racist" position (it seems that is the only conclusion we "jump to" these days), so I thought about it much further:
I've met many people from many countries, over the years, who own or rent property here in the V's and every single one of them spoke excellent English. They met and talked with all the neighbors, and seemed happy to do so and share interesting aspects of their country. Next thought was, the renters specified are working here on short term projects, not "snowbirds or vacationers here for the golf, which to me would indicate they are (probably not ?) 55 or older. Which made me think, doesn't at least one occupant of the residence have to be over 55 (if I understand correctly, this is a requirement to gain certain state and federal advantages to being a 55 "community", but I could be wrong on that), so on the surface this would appear to be younger workers (crews that often stay in motels and not private homes ?), and finally, although it's not certain, I've noticed that those individuals who are legal U.S. citizens (among them, restaurant owners, motel owners, and an account I met from Ukraine, and many others I've talked with) seem to learn to speak English in a reasonable period of time. None of these circumstances mentioned, seem, in isolation, to indicate anything "wrong", but together things like working daily, speaking do English, probably not meeting age requirement, short term renting, and didn't state, but how MANY living in one home ? I consider myself open minded, but this really does not seem to belong in a restricted community for seniors ? When the camel gets it's nose under the tent... we all know how that one ends.
