florida lease form
 

We bought a home in Tamarind Grove but will be renting it most of the time as I have several years before retiring. I've been looking for either a lease/contract form valid in Florida or a good source for one. I'm in IL and will be handling everything by mail with a homewatch service to meet and greet. Also is one of the local rental listing services better? I already have a tenant for Jan-Mar but would like to get it listed for Nov-Dec and the balance of 2012.

Thanks,
Chuck

When I was looking for one on the internet, I googled "Florida Residential Lease Agreement" and chose one produced by www.ilrg.com/forms

It cost $9.99 to download it instantly. But it was very complete and there was room to write in special provisions that pertained to our property.

Rental Info
 

Hi Chuck,
Welcome to the Villages. I have had rental property for several years and use a generic lease agreement from Office Depot. As far as listing the property, I use a Villagers web site, thevillages4rent.com. There is no management fees involved since you deal directly with the tennants yourself. I did it for several years from out of state until we moved here last year. Hope this helps.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations and help both on the forum and off.

Chuck
