What Your Fort Lauderdale Home Could Rent For

Right now, houses and townhomes in Fort Lauderdale are asking a median $3,950 a month and condos and apartments $2,300, across 1,549 active rentals. Leases signed in the last 90 days closed at a median $3,200 and $2,000. Your rent depends on size, condition, furnishing and location, so we price your home from the comparable leases closest to it, not from a citywide average.

Renting Out a Home in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale tenants range from downtown professionals to yacht crews and seasonal residents, and each pays for something different: walkability, dockage, furnishing or a short commute. We price your home against the renters most likely to lease it and market it where they are looking.

Leasing Services

Rental pricing from real comparable leases, marketing to every agent and portal in South Florida, thorough tenant screening, a Florida-compliant lease, and condo and HOA expertise, including the association application when your community requires one.

Optional Full Property Management

Prefer not to be the landlord day to day? Beyond finding the tenant, we offer optional full management of your Fort Lauderdale rental, end to end. Ask for a quote for either service.

Florida Rules Every Landlord Should Know

Florida law requires a landlord to tell the tenant in writing, within 30 days of receiving a security deposit, how and where it is held. After the tenant moves out, the landlord has 15 days to return the deposit if there is no claim against it, or 30 days to send written notice of a claim. Condo and HOA communities often add leasing rules of their own, such as minimum lease terms and a tenant application. This is a summary, not legal advice.

What Leases Fastest in Fort Lauderdale

What leases fastest in Fort Lauderdale depends on which renter you are pricing for. Furnished condos on the Galt Ocean Mile and the beach go first in autumn, when winter residents book, and unfurnished units downtown and in Flagler Village lease year-round to professionals within a short walk of Las Olas and Brightline. Houses with a pool in Coral Ridge, Victoria Park and Lake Ridge move quickly to families, and a canal home with a dock on the isles leases to a boater the day it appears if the dock is included. What sits in Fort Lauderdale is a large unfurnished oceanfront unit in a building that forbids short leases, and any home priced above the recent leases on its own street.

Annual or Seasonal for a Fort Lauderdale Owner

An owner in Fort Lauderdale choosing between annual and seasonal is choosing between two tenants. The seasonal tenant is a winter resident or a boat owner who wants a furnished home on the Galt, the beach or the isles from January to April, pays more per month and leaves the unit empty in summer unless you fill it with a short annual lease. Turnover means cleaning, inventory and wear on furniture several times a year. Whether that is even possible depends on the building: many Fort Lauderdale condominiums set a minimum lease term or cap the leases per year, and some ban seasonal rentals outright. Houses on the isles have no board, so the owner alone decides.

Rules a Fort Lauderdale Landlord Checks First

Rules a Fort Lauderdale owner checks before listing start with the association. Condominiums on the Galt, downtown and along the river set minimum lease terms, cap how many times a unit can be leased in a year, charge an application fee and can take weeks to approve a tenant; co-ops add a board interview. Some buildings will not allow leasing in the first year of ownership. Outside a building, the city's rules on short-term rentals decide whether a home near the beach can be let by the week, so confirm the registration requirements before you plan on it. Florida law also requires a Fort Lauderdale landlord to give written notice of how a deposit is held and to return it promptly after move-out.
