My parents live in a 55+ community down in North Florida and am wondering if I can stay with them for a few months while I look for a new job (and place). My company just laid off a bunch of people and I am one of the unlucky ones. On top of it, my current landlord decided to sell his house because of the housing frenzy. So not only do I need to find a new job but I also need a new place to stay. Of course, it wouldn't be ideal for me to find a place, sign the lease only to leave immediately because I find a job. I am not an outdoor person. Even in my current place, I leave the house about once every two weeks to buy groceries. I never party and keep it to myself. I am single.
So two questions:
1. Can I secretly live with them for the time being?
2. Will the management find out? They do have the right to inspect any lots.
Thank you, everyone.
I get the feeling that this is a modular home development.
You parents need to ask permission.
Tread lightly....
I'll tell you that I think it's highly unlikely that you can move in for a few months. Maybe a couple of weeks, but an open-ended number of months? Probably not. It defeats the entire premise of a 55-and-over community.
I suggest you look into a short-term rental like an Air BnB or VRBO that wouldn't require you to sign a lease. A landlord of one of those might cut you a deal if you agreed to lease for three months, rather than week-to-week.
If their lease is very specific and they could be evicted, don't risk it.
