The Advantages of Professional Property Management

Be Informed!

Whether you’re a new landlord or an experienced investor, understanding Florida’s rental laws and Section 8 benefits can help you maximize profits, avoid legal issues, and secure more reliable tenants.

10 Key Florida Landlord-Tenant Laws

  1. Fair Housing Act – Prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, disability, etc. Adjustments must be made for disabled tenants.
  2. Written and Unwritten Leases – Both are legal, but written leases are recommended to avoid disputes.
  3. Paying Rent – Rent is due per the lease. Tenants may withhold rent with proper notice for unresolved issues.
  4. Condition of the Property – Landlords must ensure livable conditions and follow health and building codes.
  5. Lead Paint & Radon – Disclosure is required before renting units built before 1978 or with known hazards.
  6. Tenant Privacy – 12-hour notice is required before entry unless it’s an emergency.
  7. Rent Control – Not permitted in Florida. However, proper notice must be given for increases.
  8. Breaking the Lease – Rules vary depending on lease type. Fees must be reasonable.
  9. Security Deposits – No state limit, but must be returned within 15-60 days depending on conditions.
  10. Evictions – Strict process with notice and timeline requirements. Eviction must be lawful and documented.

Benefits of Accepting Section 8 Tenants

  • Guaranteed Payments – Rent is paid electronically on the 1st of every month.
  • Stable Tenancy – Vouchers create dependable income, even in economic downturns.
  • Tenant Accountability – Tenants protect their voucher and avoid landlord issues.
  • Increased Tenant Pool – More applicants = better tenant selection.
  • Improved Cash Flow – Less rent chasing and more peace of mind.

Top 5 Myths About Section 8 – Debunked

  1. They destroy property: Most protect their voucher and respect the home.
  2. Good credit tenants are safer: Vouchers offer more rent stability during hardship.
  3. Credit score is everything: Rental history matters more than credit score.
  4. They’re lazy: Many work hard and take care of their families and homes.
  5. They’re bad neighbors: Section 8 tenants typically avoid conflict to protect housing.

Reminder for Miami-Dade and Broward Realtors®: Local fair housing laws include additional protections like sexual orientation, gender identity, and Section 8 voucher status.
