Villa rents are typically paid in 1–4 cheques per year and include access to community amenities such as pools, parks and, in many cases, a shared or private garden. Maintenance responsibilities are usually split between landlord (structural) and tenant (day-to-day) — always confirm this in the tenancy contract before signing.
