Residential rentals · Miami & South Florida

Finding it is the easy part

Anyone can send you listings. We get you approved — with a licensed Florida realtor, at no cost to you.

Popular:

No account needed to look around.

One application

Your details and documents are entered once, then reused for every property you apply to.

Sent complete

A licensed realtor checks it and sends one packet to the listing agent — nothing missing, nothing to chase.

Signed on your phone

Read the Contract to Lease, initial it and sign with your finger. Nothing to print or scan.

The HOA step, tracked

The association application is requested early, checked before it goes, and followed up if it stalls.

While you wait

You always know where it is.

Most renters apply and then hear nothing. Here, one page shows what has been sent, who has it and what is still outstanding — down to the association and how long they have had it.

Applications don't get turned down.They get set aside.

A listing agent with forty inquiries reads the complete one first. Most renters lose places they could have had, on paperwork.

The part nobody mentions

In Florida, signing the lease isn't the last step.

If the building has a condo or homeowners association, it usually runs its own application after the landlord has already said yes — and it can decline someone the landlord accepted. This is where move dates collapse.

A second fee

Separate from the landlord's, and from your deposit.

Sometimes a board interview

Scheduled around their calendar, not yours.

Often weeks of waiting

Set by the association's own governing documents.

We request the packet early, check it before it goes, and keep track of it. We can't make an association move faster, or hand it over where they require you to bring it yourself — but it is never the thing nobody was watching.

The full guide to Florida association approvalWhat they ask for, how long it takes, and when to give notice

What it costs you

Nothing. The landlord pays.

In Florida the landlord's side customarily pays the leasing commission — so a licensed realtor can represent you through the whole thing without charging you a fee.

Questions, answered.

What is EasyRent?

A licensed Florida realtor plus the software that runs the rental process. You search, apply and sign in one place, and a real agent represents you through the landlord's screening, the lease and the condo or HOA association step. It is not a listing marketplace — the search is the easy part, and the help is everything after it.

Do I have to fill in a separate application for every property?

No. You complete your rental application and upload your documents once — ID, pay stubs, bank statements — and they are reused for every property you apply to. Applying to a second or third listing takes minutes rather than starting from a blank form each time.

Why do applications get rejected?

Most are not rejected. They are set aside. A listing agent with dozens of enquiries reads the complete application first, and an application missing a document tends to be put to one side rather than queried. That is why your application is checked and sent as one complete packet — the rental application, every supporting document, and a cover letter from your realtor.

How do I know what is happening with my application?

One page shows where it is and who has it — when it went out, who it went to, what the landlord has said, and where the association application has got to. You are not left guessing or sending follow-up messages to find out whether anyone has looked at it.

Does it cost a renter anything to use a realtor in Florida?

Customarily no. In Florida residential leasing the landlord's side generally pays the leasing commission, so a renter can be represented by a licensed realtor without paying a fee for that representation. Application fees charged by a landlord or an association are separate and are disclosed before you pay them.

What is an HOA or condo association application, and do I need one?

If you are renting in a building or community with a homeowners or condominium association, the association usually runs its own approval on top of the landlord's. It has its own form, its own fee, sometimes an interview with the board, and the association can decline an applicant the landlord has already accepted. In South Florida this applies to a large share of rentals.

How long does HOA or condo association approval take in Florida?

It varies by association, and the association's own governing documents set the window. Two to four weeks is common, and some are quicker. Ask for the expected turnaround in writing before you give notice on your current home, because this step is the most frequent cause of a move date slipping.

Do I have to submit the association application myself?

Often, yes. Many Florida associations require the applicant to deliver the packet themselves, in person or through the association's own portal, and some will only accept it from the applicant. Where an association takes it by email, your realtor can send it. With EasyRent the packet is requested from the listing agent, completed online and checked before it goes, you are told in advance which way that association wants it, and the date is tracked so somebody notices if they go quiet.

Can I use one rental application for more than one property?

Yes. You complete your application and upload your documents once, and they are reused for every property you apply to, so you are not retyping the same information and re-uploading the same ID and pay stubs for each listing.

What happens if more than one person is on the lease?

Each person signs separately, from their own link, on their own phone. Add the second tenant to the contract and a second signing request goes to them at their own email address or mobile number. A link cannot be forwarded to sign in somebody else's name.

Can I sign a Florida Contract to Lease electronically?

Yes. EasyRent sends a link you open on your phone, where you read the contract, add your initials and sign with your finger. Nothing has to be printed or scanned. When more than one tenant is on the lease, each person receives their own link and signs separately.

Is the rental process available in Spanish?

Yes. The rental application, the document upload, the Contract to Lease and the association packet are all available in Spanish, and you work with a licensed Florida realtor who works in Spanish.
