How Renting in Florida Works
To rent a property in Florida, you will need to present documents such as ID, proof of income, credit history and references. Foreign tenants may need a passport, valid visa and proof of funds.
Most rental contracts in Florida are for 12 months, but there are options for short-term contracts, such as 6 months or even monthly, depending on the landlord.
In some cases, especially if the tenant has no credit history in the United States, a guarantor or a larger security deposit may be required to guarantee the contract.
The rental price depends on the location, the type of property, market conditions and factors such as amenities and maintenance included. Normally, rents in the most sought-after areas tend to be higher.
The landlord is responsible for major maintenance, such as structural or electrical repairs. However, the tenant must take care of the day-to-day use of the property and minor maintenance, such as changing light bulbs and cleaning.
Yes, foreigners can rent property in Florida. It is important to have all the necessary documents, such as a passport, valid visa and proof of sufficient funds.
Yes, you are usually required to pay a security deposit, the first month’s rent and sometimes the last month’s rent when you sign the contract.
In some cases, it is possible to negotiate the rent, especially if you are renting for a longer period or if the property has been on the market for some time without being rented out.
This depends on the contract. Some rents include certain utilities, such as water and maintenance of common areas, but electricity, internet and cable TV are usually paid for by the tenant.
Near the end of the contract, the landlord or real estate agent may offer a renewal. In many cases, it is possible to renegotiate the rent or discuss necessary adjustments to the contract.
