Florida HOA & Condo Rental Compliance: Who Is Bound by Which Rental Rules
Florida is the largest community-association market in the country, and its rental rules turn on a question most boards can't answer from memory: which owners are actually bound by which version of your rental restrictions? Both the Condominium Act and the HOA Act make rental amendments binding on some owners and not others—which converts compliance into a per-owner record-keeping problem.

The statutes that create tracking duties
Each of these laws requires your association to be able to prove something. That's a record-keeping obligation, whether or not anyone calls it that.
Fla. Stat. § 718.110(13) — condominiums
Rental amendments bind only consenting and after-acquired owners
A condominium amendment that prohibits rentals, alters the permitted rental term, or limits how often a unit may be rented binds only owners who consented to the amendment and owners who take title after it is recorded. Everyone else keeps the rental rights they bought with.
What your association must track:
- Per-unit "amendment vintage": which rental rules apply to each unit, keyed to acquisition date and consent records
- Written consents for every rental amendment, retained permanently
- Title transfers—each conveyance moves the new owner under the current rules
Fla. Stat. § 720.306(1)(h) — HOAs (added by SB 630, eff. July 1, 2021)
The same rule for HOAs—with a six-month/three-times exception
HOA rental amendments likewise bind only consenting or after-acquired owners—except amendments that prohibit rentals of six months or less, or limit rentals to no more than three times per year, apply to all owners. Associations of 15 or fewer parcels are carved out entirely.
What your association must track:
- Which category each rental amendment falls into—it determines who it binds
- Rental term and frequency per property where a six-month/three-times rule applies
- Owner vintage records for every other kind of rental restriction
HB 1021 (2024, "Condo 3.0") and HB 913 (2025)
Records and transparency mandates
Florida's recent condominium reforms impose sweeping records duties—including website posting of official records for larger condominiums, structural and reserve transparency, and tightened manager accountability. Lease and tenant records live inside that official-records regime.
What your association must track:
- Complete, current official records—including leasing records—retrievable and, where required, posted
- Consistent documentation across every community a manager serves
The test: could your board produce this tomorrow?
If a dispute, an audit, or a new manager asked for the following, a compliant Florida association should be able to hand it over without a scramble:
Watch this space
The 2026 session ended with the major HOA bills stalled—HB 657 passed the House 108-2 but died in the Senate. Expect rental and records legislation to return in 2027; Florida amends its community-association statutes nearly every year.
