Tips for renting in St Petersburg, FL

Before you move to this sunshine-filled city, here are a few things to be aware of regarding rental rights in St. Petersburg.

Once the lease period ends, your landlord is legally able to increase rent as much as they see fit. However, they must provide notice prior to end of the lease so you can make the decision whether to stay or go.

Your landlord must also keep the structure in good repair, along with exterminating pests and insects. Failure to comply means gives you the legal right to withhold rent. But you're required to send written notification by certified mail at least seven days before the rent is due. This ensures the landlord has time to make the necessary changes.

Always read your lease agreements so you know what's expected. Although oral agreements are legal, it's highly recommended you get everything in writing – and signed.
