Work in progress, apparently.

They don't care who lives in the homes. They care only that they get paid for making and selling them.

However, the Villages has not enforced this in many years. They are selling new construction, as far as I can tell, according to the law. But resales sold by non-Villages MLS realtors don't really care who lives in the house they're selling. And the Developer doesn't ask the age of the resident until AFTER the house has sold and the residents apply for their Villages ID. By that point it's too late.

Every 2 years, The Villages is required to provide HUD with statistics to show compliance with HOPA.

And there in lies a significant problem, the developer should recuse themselves from the responsibility of enforcement of internal deed restrictions. Can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST!

But they already have. The Developer has the right, but not the duty, to enforce these restrictions. Homeowners, you and me, have the right, and the duty to enforce them (all this is in the enforcement section).

So exercise your right, do your duty - bring a suit against the owner to force him to come into compliance.

Yes, that is what they're supposed to do. They are either - not doing it, OR they are making up the statistics and submitting false data.

The Villages has no way of knowing if the homeowner is actually living in the home. If a 55+ homeowner rents to younger short-term tenants, the homeowner can have guest passes issued to each tenant throughout the year, live somewhere else entirely, and The Villages will never be the wiser.

Where do you come with this nonsense?

Cheaper to move the illegals than have to pay for them. Shouldn't of been allowed to illegally come here to start with.

Good Luck

Thank you for that insightful advice, I appreciate it.

What's odd is there is a slab of concrete on her side for a grill but she uses the lawn closer to my house to put the grill instead. I don't know if this is consciously because she doesn't want her wall full of smoke and grease, I can only speculate.

Again, one assumes that those illegally crossing the border are "Spanish speaking"...

"Between Nov. 23, 2022 and May 6, the National Institute of Migration (INM) office in the southern state of Chiapas, where Tapachula is located, gave out visas and permits to 81,245 migrants from 103 nations."

Migrants from over 100 countries have crossed into Mexico

16 CFR SS 240.4 - Definition of customer. | Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute

A customer is someone who pays for goods or services. If a contract is written up , then once it is signed by a recipient entering a binding contract, they would be termed the customer. You can also do this by electronic documentation. It’s basic US law. Furthermore, signed contracts can be used and often are by landlords to recoup damages to their rental properties. It really is indisputable. Receipts and contracts are anecdotal evidence for payments from customers. Cancelled checks, bank transfers, wire receipts and even certified check records can and have been used in court cases. Ask any judge.

When I run out of tinfoil, I have an old football helmet I wear and I spray it with teflon. Works ok in a pinch and deflects most of the waves.

I’m not sure what you mean, but your responses do seem to indicate you are use to wearing one. As far as case law and torts, ask any time. I’ll try and help.
