Renter's Guide to Tallahassee

If you’re seeking a home in Northern Florida, you can’t do much better than two-time All-American City Award Winner, Tallahassee.

The National Civic League’s most prestigious award is given to only 10 cities every year to honor their citizens’ dedication to “identify and tackle community-wide challenges”.

With 233 sunny days per year, access to two large universities, a stable housing market, and a location just 30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, Florida’s state capital is a jewel in the middle of the Panhandle.

A couple hours’ drive from Panama City and 196 miles from Pensacola, Tallahassee is somewhat cooler than the rest of the state. July temperatures average 82°F, while January’s daily average is 51°F. Every few years, Tallahassee even sees a few inches of snow.

Tallahassee is the 126th-largest city in the U.S., with a total area of 103 square miles, practically tiny compared to the eight times larger Jacksonville. Even so, it’s still the Sunshine State’s seventh-largest city, at roughly twice the size of Miami.

    Tips for Renting in Tallahassee

    Are you ready for the move to Tallahassee? There are just a few things you need to know before packing up.

    Tallahassee’s renters’ rights are the same as the rest of the state of Florida. For instance, landlords must supply essential utilities like water and electric, and of course, the property must be maintained and livable. If a tenant needs essential repairs and the landlord drags his feet in doing so, the renter has the right to contract for the work – at the landlord’s expense.

    If a landlord threatens eviction for missing a rent payment, they have to give you at least three day's notice before beginning the eviction proceedings. And you're entitled to pay the missed rent before those three days are up.
