Owner-Occupied Renting to Roommate/Lodger Occupancy Question, FL

Yuri Couto
  • St. Petersburg, FL
Posted

Hello Biggerpockets!

I am seeking guidance on what rights I have to establish an occupancy limit (of 1 person) for two bedrooms in my 3/2.5 house I am going to rent for the first time ever (new landlord)! To note, I am living in the house in the 3rd room.

Basically, I would want only one occupancy for each room (MAYBE a couple for the second room, a master suite) in order to not experience a crowded house. I searched for information on this all throughout BiggerPockets as well as Florida Landlord laws, and could not find an answer.

If I am legally allowed to enforce my preference for single occupancy, what are the ways in which I could do that? (Only in the lease, right on the application?)

Thanks in advance for your information.

Respectfully,

Yuri Couto
