Renter's Guide to Orlando

Orlando’s designation as “Theme Park Capital of the World” is well earned. The city’s name is associated with such entertainment powerhouses as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios that emanate excitement for families around the globe. But, Orlando’s other nickname “The City Beautiful” is a reminder that like the city’s symbol, the fountain at Lake Eola, Orlando is more than theme parks but is a man-made, natural wonder that must be experienced to be believed.

Located in east-central Florida, Orlando is just 84 miles from Tampa, 236 miles from Miami and 438 miles from Atlanta. Complimented by two airports, The Orlando International Airport, 13t busiest in the US (43^rd busiest in the world) and Orlando Sanford Airport, just 15 miles from downtown, and boasting the second largest number of hotel rooms (behind Las Vegas) in the US, Orlando has also become a leading draw for conventions and conferences of all sizes.

Weather in Orlando is semi-tropical with average January temperatures in the 70’s and a hurricane season that runs from August through December. Yet, fall and summer off seasons when children are on school vacations are popular and affordable times to explore Orlando’s many attractions.

Tips for Renting in Orlando

In Orlando FL, it is against the law for landlords to discriminate against tenants. Similarly it is against the law for landlords to take punitive actions against tenants who notify the landlord of flawed conditions in the rental unit. This means landlords cannot raise the rent, shutoff utilities or lock the tenant from the property. Landlords who discriminate face serious charges and penalties, including reimbursing the tenant the equivalent of three-month’s rent.

Whether tenants move from New York, Chicago or any other location outside Florida to Orlando, they are required to register their cars in Florida within ten days after they commence work. Relocated tenants must provide proof or ownership with the auto’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and offer proof of Florida-based insurance. Florida registration can be accomplished at any DMV office in Florida.
