I believed that children that moved back with their parents could only stay 90 days and why isn't anything being done about it!

In my view it takes a lazy thinker to quickly conclude that the source of our small crime problem rests with adult children living here.

In fact we ought to celebrate because our crime problem is minimal given the size of this population and the manner in which this community operates. My hats off to our law enforcement people

If you no longer have a copy of your deed restrictions, which would have been given to you at closing or perhaps earlier, they can be found on districtgov.org:

VCDD Deed Compliance - Sumter County

Essentially, there is 30 day limit on anyone under the age of 19. The deed restrictions may vary from unit to unit within a CDD. Mine are only 8 pages long. They are worth reading/rereading. Keep in mind that enforcement of the deed restrictions is essentially complaint driven. Specific questions can always be directed to your CDD. There is contact information on districtgov.org.

I was also wondering about any bartender responsibility (legal). In FL, apparently, in a legal sense, there isn't any as long as the person being served is over 21 and the bartender is not aware of an alcohol addiction. Here is one interpretation of the law:

Florida’s liquor liability laws are covered under Florida’s Dram Shop Act, which can be found in Florida Statutes, Section 768.125. Its legislature created liability for bars and establishments under certain conditions for any injury or death that results from intoxication. What the statute says is that a person who sells or furnishes alcohol to a person of lawful drinking age shall not become liable for any injury or damage caused by or resulting from the intoxication of a person.

So, generally, if you sell or give alcohol to a person who’s over the age of 21 in Florida, you’re not responsible at all for any injury. But a person who willfully or unlawfully sells or furnishes alcohol to a person who is not of lawful drinking age or who knowingly serves a person habitually addicted to the use of alcohol may become liable for injury or damage caused by or resulting from the intoxication of such a minor or person.

So, what the law says is that in general a social host is not responsible for anything that happens as a result of them serving alcohol to people over the age of 21. However, if the social host, or any establishment, serves alcohol to somebody who’s under 21, or to somebody who’s habitually addicted to alcohol, they may be responsible for any injury resulting to that minor or to somebody else as a result of that minor’s or alcoholic’s intoxication.

Wow! What a string of complaints! I for one never was promised that when I bought in The Villages that this was my pass to Heaven and that only old people were good enough to live here because they do no wrong. Along with that, a promise that none of those nasty younger folks would ever be allowed to enter.

IMO It's supposed to be retirement community, not frat house, day day care center, or prison half way house. IMO many more that two in household card carrying residents should have to pay extra amenities for the freeloaders.

That is true, but only if the children are under the age of 19. Otherwise no time limit.
In a lot of cases, I believe the problem "kids" are renters, not adult children living with their parents.

I asked long ago who keeps the statistics that show this 80/20 split is being adhered too. and the response from many was who care. I am fine with people 50-51 moving in. However I do care when government intentionally blurs the lines of rules and regulation policies and compliance's or allows them to lapse because the community suffers.

3 homes out of 15 is 80/20?
I would think you have at least 15 homes within a block or two of you.

Here are the rules. NO child under 19 can stay, live, rent, hang around in a Villages home more than 30 days in a calendar year.

Any child over the age of 19 can stay, live, rent, hang around in a Villages home all of the time. It is not illegal nor does it break any rules or deed restrictions.

The Villages is an age restricted community. It is a Federal program that requires the 80/20. In our case it is 55 years of age.

Here is some more explanation of this nice feature that some folks, younger and they think wiser want to get rid of....I like it and it is one of the reason I moved here. Don't get me wrong, I love younger people and little ones but they are the ones in the population that bring problems, sadly.

The online unmentionable news seems to rather frequently report on felonious activities by under 55 Villages residents. Frankly, their apparent large numbers i find shocking!

Why shocking?

20% of home OWNERS can be under 55. That's 20% of about 57,000 homes or 11,400. Many of those would have a spouse also under 55, so let's add another 8,600 for a total of 20,000. Now add spouses under 55 of an owner over 55---2 or 3,000? Add renters under 55, add "adult children" under 55 living with parents/grandparents. Then add 30 days of the under 19 crowd/year. My guess is over 30,000 residents/guests under 55. Now add locals who come to the squares or shopping plazas.
