I understand that there are certain rental restrictions in Florida. Is this true?
- Yes, due to the fact that Central Florida attracts so many families from northern states, Canada, and overseas, that spend only part of the year within its borders, three are many restrictions as to where and when short-term rentals are permitted. For instance, the four counties that make up the majority of Disney Orlando, each have different rules relating to renting of homes on a short-term basis. It is therefore essential to obtain correct professional advice and guidance as to the suitability of a particular community.
