We rent our house from February thru summer. I don’t myself but it took awhile for me to set it up. I pay 9% transient taxes each month if necessary. I have a contract for each month (we pay up to $130 in electricity, golf cart included, and fully furnished). IF you rent 6 month and one day, you don’t have to pay transient taxes; less than that, you pay taxes to FL and also Lake County.
At first, I searched for someone to ‘watch’ our house when we are not here; their fee was $200 a month, and, if we were here living, we had to pay the $200 a month to them! With the expenses of two house, we were not going to pay them $200 a month!!
We have had many nice tenants who have watched our house while they lived here.
