Hollywood Beach condo associations can restrict rentals through the declaration and rules: minimum lease lengths, a limit on how many leases per year, a waiting period after purchase before you can rent, a cap on rented units, and tenant approval. City and state short-term rental rules apply separately. Before buying to rent, get the declaration, all amendments, the rules and the lease application, and confirm in writing how the rules apply to you as a new owner.
Where rental restrictions live
- Recorded declaration and amendments.
- Authorized rules and regulations.
- Lease application and approval process.
§718.110(13), Fla. Stat. specifies that amendments prohibiting rentals, altering rental-term duration or specifying/limiting the number of rentals during a period apply to owners who consent and owners acquiring title after the amendment’s effective date. A seller’s protected position does not automatically pass to a subsequent buyer. The subsection is not a blanket exemption from all leasing rules; have counsel evaluate the actual amendment, adoption history and acquisition date.
Common restriction types
- Minimum lease term.
- Maximum leases per year.
- Waiting period after purchase.
- Cap on the share of units rented.
- Tenant screening, fees and deposits.
These differ building by building.
City and state layers
Hollywood’s Vacation Rental License application requires supporting state and county documentation, including an active DBPR transient lodging license, Florida Department of Revenue registration, Broward tourist-tax account, local business tax receipts, sketches and owner certifications. Confirm the property’s eligibility and current requirements with the City before advertising. City licensing does not override a condominium rental prohibition, cap or waiting period. DBPR licensing and tax registration are separate compliance layers.
