Sell Your House Fast in Florida — And Stay a Little Longer 🏡

Want to sell your house fast in Florida but need a cushion to move?

With Sell2Rent, you can sell as-is, close quickly, and stay as a renter for a short period—often 30 to 60 days—while you settle your next steps.

💡 What’s a Sale-Leaseback (aka Rent-Back)?

• You sell your home to us (or an investor).
  
  
• After closing, you become a renter and stay for a few extra weeks or months.
  
  
• You get fast cash and avoid the chaos of moving out immediately.
  
  

👍 Why It’s a Great Option

• ✅ Sell fast—no listings, no repairs
  
  
• ✅ Stay in your home—time to move, pack, or wait on your next place
  
  
• ✅ Skip staging and showings—we buy as-is
  
  
• ✅ Focus on moving at your own pace
  
  

📝 Florida-Specific Highlights

1. ⏱️ Stay for 30–60 Days (Maybe Up to 90)

Most rent-back agreements in Florida run 30–60 days. Longer stays may need special lender approval and could introduce rules similar to short-term rentals  .

2. 📄 Written Post‑Occupancy Agreement Needed

Florida law requires a clear Post‑Occupancy Agreement. This covers walls like:

• Daily or monthly rent
  
  
• Security deposit
  
  
• Maintenance and utilities
  
  
• Move-out date and what happens if you stay late  .
  
  

3. 💵 Utilities & Maintenance Are Up to You

You’ll generally handle your own utilities, lawn care, minor fixes, and renter’s insurance—just like in a standard lease  .

4. ⚖️ Guarded by Landlord‑Tenant Laws

Your agreement must comply with Florida’s landlord-tenant rules. If you don’t leave on time, only proper eviction under state law applies—no loopholes.

5. ⚠️ Sales Tax for Short Movie

If your stay is under 6 months, it might be treated like a short-term rental. Florida state (6%) and local sales taxes could apply, so we’ll handle compliance for you  .

6. 🏦 Lender Rules & Insurance

Most lenders allow a 60-day rent-back for owner-occupied status, but some add extra restrictions. We’ll confirm yours in advance.
