Rights and Duties as Landlords and Tenants

Both landlords and tenants have rights and duties. Follow the link below for more information.

Taxes

In Florida if a rental is less than 6 months and a day you must pay your taxes on the income (around 11% depending on the area). This is enforced – and owners not following the rules can be fined and anonymous whistleblowers get a reward, so this isn’t something to take lightly.
