Legal, Tax & Compliance
Transient Rental
In Florida, a rental of six months or less — the legal trigger for STR rules.
Why you care
This definition is what pulls you into sales tax, tourist development tax and state licensing. It is about the term, not about which platform you used.
Worked example
A seven-month lease is not transient and is taxed completely differently from a six-month one. One month changes the whole regime.
