Florida
I’m hoping to spend the winters in a gated independent living retirement community in Florida, maybe keys or Sarasota area
im 62 And a lively, sociable single retired lady who enjoys hiking, golf, and lots of other activities.
are there any communities in this area which do 6 month rentals?

Re: Florida
Sounds like you have a B visa?
I am sure there are, must be many people who have second properties and can not travel currently, presumably you are aware of the quarantine requirements.

Re: Florida
Well obviously most things community wise have been cancelled due to the Covid, I was told the Florida market had crashed, well friends who lived there, not sure how things will come back, if they will.
Never been to Florida so will leave that to others.

Re: Florida
(There may even be regulations whereby a resident cannot rent out their property in such a community while they are away). They have an overall management staff to administer the community.
Are you thinking about 55+ communities i.e those areas where homes/apartments are sold only to people over 55? These communities usually have a club house, social area and often a pool, but the house/apartment owners can usually rent out their property (with some restrictions) as they are individual purchases.

Re: Florida
I think you are struggling because most independent living retirement communities are those that people live in permanently and they have either paid for their accommodation (ie, bought into the development) or have long term lease type situations. They don't rent out for short term.

Now are the leases for 6 months? I don't know you would have to call them.

Re: Florida
How long can you stay on a "regular tourist" visa ? Will US Immigration not become suspicious of someone doing this regularly for longer periods ?

Re: Florida
She already admitted that she didn't know what to call it and know is aware that it is a B visa she will need to obtain. No, they will not be suspicious as it is regularly done each winter by hordes of foreigners (particularly Canadians) seeking warmth and sun.
