Miami is one of the country’s prime tourist hotspots and makes for an enticing location for investors interested in buying a condo specifically for its value as a short-term rental investment. Brickell is one of the best neighborhoods in Miami to engage in short-term rentals. The process of engaging in short-term rentals is tricky though so be sure to follow through with all the steps. Miami has the steepest short-term rental fines in the country so you should be meticulous in your hunt to acquire the perfect condo. Miami represents a massive market for vacation rentals. It is one of the prime places to engage in short-term rentals, so definitely look for the right condo building, just pay close attention to the fine print of not only local condo association bylaws but the rules governing each area of Miami-Dade County.

Short Term Rental Scenarios to be aware of:

  • You may encounter a condo building that doesn’t allow rentals unless you have owned the condo for a year or two
  • Most condos do not allow less than 6 month rental periods
  • In buildings where short-term rentals are allowed, many condo associations limit total number of allowable times you can rent per year
  • Condos that allow owners to rent out short-term rentals, may have rules restricting leases to 90 day minimums, 30 day minimums, and some may even permit daily rentals

Legalities condo owners in Miami-Dade County must follow to legally issue a short-term lease include:

  • Hosts are responsible for guests knowing all applicable rules of the building
  • If the condo in question is within 2,500 ft of a school, owner must perform a thorough search of sex offender registries to make sure that no guests who have records stay on the grounds
  • Hosts must be available at all times to deal with problems arising with the police
  • Owners must acquire a certificate of use for a property as a rental 
  • Hosts must maintain a registry with the names of all renters, including the guests of those who rent the property
  • According to the Miami Herald: “The maximum overnight occupancy at any short-term rental should not exceed two people per room, plus two per property for a maximum of 12. During the day, capacity is limited to 16 people”
