Picket Fences for Rent: 100+ Suburbs Transitioned to Majority Renters in Last Decade

Nearly 40 of the suburbs that transitioned to renter-majority in the last decade belong to just three metros: Washington, D.C. (14); Miami (13); and Los Angeles (12). In the Miami metro, the suburb of Doral, FL — located near the Miami airport — has become renter-dominated thanks to a spectacular 83% increase in its renting population. That makes Doral the third-largest area for renters in the entire country, exceeding 30,000 renters in the past decade. The city’s popularity might be linked to the fact that it ranks as the third-best small city to start a small business in in the U.S. Plus, its affordable cost of living and 13-mile proximity to downtown Miami make Doral a highly appealing suburb in which to rent a home.

Renter's guide to Miami, FL

Founded in 1870, Miami is Florida’s second largest city. The name is most likely derived from the Seminole word “Mayaimi,” meaning Big Water.

Today, Miami is a trendy vacation destination that is a thriving cultural center best known for appealing weather, clean beaches, vibrant nightlife and its large international banking community.

Known as the Capital of Latin America, Miami is smaller than Jacksonville but larger than Tampa. The city borders the Atlantic Ocean and sits 280 miles from West Coast Tampa.

Tips for renting in Miami, FL

Miami is one of the most expensive rental markets in the US. Leases in Miami can be written or oral agreements. Miami leases are quirky in that landlords often attempt to include “automatic renewal” clauses in their leases. Tenants should be careful to exclude or avoid automatic renewals. Another clause that should be negotiated is the tenant’s obligation to comply with new rules. This can change the appeal of the rental. Watch out for “rent may increase” clauses because in Miami rent can spike if demand is strong. The purpose of leasing is to achieve stable rent, not variable rates. Since the recession and housing market collapse in 2008, Miami and Florida have implemented strict eviction processes. Eviction proceedings can commence if rent is three days late.

Quick Tips

It is common practice for landlords to collect a one month security deposit and the first month’s rent at time of signing the new lease. Renters’ rights for Miami security deposits require the landlord to refund the security deposit within 15 days of lease termination.

If you are moving to Miami and intend to start a business, you will appreciate the no corporate tax policy.

Check school districts closely because the public school system is weaker than the private school system.

Carefully research your trash and recycling options and providers.

And, at some point, you will need to obtain a Florida Driver’s License as well as register your car with the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles department. Many Miamians opt to use public transport so check availability at your rental home or apartment.

Miami’s healthcare system is strong but be sure to check with your insurer for approved providers near your new address.
