Depasquale: Singles should pay same as couples in Sun City

Posted

This is in response to a letter to the editor (“Still disagree with way fee was changed,” Sun City Independent, June 23, 2021).

Pertaining to the recreation fees, I have to agree with you about the single fees — they shouldn’t be the same as couples. I have been renting since 2014 and have paid couples fees all along, and that’s fair if I use the facilities. But for the ones that don’t use the facilities they shouldn’t have t pay the full fee. This should be changed, maybe just pay as you use sort of thing.

Also, my complaint has always been my landlord has to pay the same fee I am paying and I pay also. To me this is still double dipping no matter how you word it. Change it — the recreation centers are sill getting two fees, one from the homeowner and one from the renter.

I have been told by the recreation center office that one is called maintenance fee and one is called a privilege fee. It’s still two fees. People need to understand that it’s a business first and then a community.
