I believe that the "6 month" residency belief stems from the hotel tax. You will pay sales tax and hotel tax (total 11%) for a rental of 6 months or less. If you rent for a minimum 6 months and 1 day, you are exempt from the tax, which is a substantial savings, but has nothing to do with residency.
