Miami-Dade County short-term rental permit requirements in lease

Legal Definition

This refers to lease provisions that mandate compliance with Miami-Dade County's regulations for properties used in short-term rentals (stays under 30 days). It requires the responsible party—usually the tenant—to obtain and maintain a county-issued permit, adhere to safety and operational standards, and cover associated costs, as outlined in local ordinances like Chapter 21A.

In Plain English

In Miami-Dade, if you rent out a place for short stays, you need a special county permit. Your lease must state who gets and pays for it, or you risk fines and eviction.

Example in a Contract
Tenant shall procure and continuously hold a valid Miami-Dade County Short-Term Rental Permit for the Leased Property in accordance with County Code Chapter 21A prior to engaging in any rental activity with terms less than thirty (30) days. Tenant bears all expenses related to the permit application, renewal, and compliance, and must furnish a copy to Landlord upon execution of this Lease and upon each renewal. Landlord makes no representations regarding permit eligibility and shall not be responsible for any penalties arising from Tenant's failure to obtain or maintain such permit.
