Questions owners ask
I am in the military at MacDill and getting PCS orders. Who can manage my Tampa home while I am gone?
Versaggi Management in Tampa can run your home as a rental while you are posted elsewhere, with a 30-day termination clause if your orders change.
We market the home, screen applicants and collect rent online by ACH. You receive an itemized report each month, and your net income is deposited to your bank account at no additional cost, and we pay only the expenses you ask us to pay. Versaggi manages homes for military owners and follows all federal regulations on active military service.
Can a military tenant end a lease early in Florida when they get PCS orders?
Yes, a servicemember can end a residential lease with written notice and a copy of the orders.
Federal law covers a lease signed before service or before orders for a permanent change of station, or for a deployment of 90 days or more. The lease ends 30 days after the next rent due date, and the owner may not impose an early termination charge (50 U.S.C. section 3955). Florida adds a rule for moves of 35 miles or more (section 83.682). Ask a Florida attorney about your own lease.
Does an owner need a court order to evict a servicemember in Florida?
Federal law requires a court order to evict a servicemember or dependents during military service, when rent is below an annually adjusted limit.
If military service materially affects the ability to pay, the court is directed to pause the case for 90 days on request, unless fairness calls for a different period (50 U.S.C. section 3951). Florida also forbids changing the locks or cutting off utilities to force a tenant out (section 83.67), so every eviction here goes through the court. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long does a Florida owner have to answer a servicemember's rental application?
Seven days, when the owner uses a rental application.
Section 83.683 of the Florida Statutes requires the owner to process a servicemember's application within 7 days and give written approval or denial, with reasons for any denial. Without a timely denial the owner must lease the home if the other terms are met. A manager screening applicants for you should keep that clock in mind. We verify employment, income and credit history and run a criminal history check.
