Hey ****! In Florida, a condominium association can charge unit owners who rent out their apartments under specific circumstances:
- If the association's governing documents (like the declaration of condominium) allow it.
- To cover the costs of additional screening or background checks for tenants.
- To offset increased wear and tear on common areas due to tenant occupancy.

How much and how often can a fee be charged
In Florida, the amount and frequency of fees charged by a condominium association for renting out units are typically dictated by the association's governing documents. These documents should outline:
- The specific fees that can be charged.
- The frequency at which these fees can be imposed.
It’s essential to review your condominium's declaration and bylaws for precise details. Have you checked your association's governing documents yet?
