Davie Rental Lease Restrictions: Reading the Actual Rules
Quick answer
Rental rules are in the association's recorded declaration, any amendments, and the rules and regulations — not the listing remarks. Ask for all of them during your review period and look for minimum lease terms, limits on how often you can lease, caps on rented units, waiting periods for new owners, and approval requirements.
Check rental amendments as well as today’s rules
§718.110(13) addresses certain condominium rental-restriction amendments and owner applicability. Do not assume every restriction is grandfathered or every new buyer can rent.
§720.306(1)(h) addresses HOA rental amendments with distinctions and exceptions. Ask counsel to apply the recorded amendment history, acquisition date and governing regime; a management email does not replace the recorded instruments.
Where the rules live
- Declaration of condominium or covenants (recorded)
- Amendments (recorded — check for recent ones)
- Bylaws
- Rules and regulations
- Board minutes discussing proposed changes
What to look for
| Restriction | Question to answer |
|---|---|
| Minimum lease term | How short can a lease be? |
| Leases per year | How many times can you lease? |
| Rental cap | Is there a waitlist? |
| New-owner waiting period | Can you rent right after buying? |
| Approval | Does the board approve tenants? |
Don't rely on the listing
Listing notes like 'rentable' may be out of date. Get the documents and ask management to confirm in writing.
