Lease it right.Maintain it without the runaround.
South Florida leasing has its own rules — security-deposit timelines, association approvals, hurricane and humidity realities. We handle the leasing, and work with an affiliated, separately licensed Academia construction company, under a separate construction agreement, on the repairs.
Choose your path
Landlords
Price it to the market, screen to FL standards, and lease it fast — with an affiliated, separately licensed Academia construction team for turns and repairs, under a separate construction agreement, so a vacancy isn't left waiting on an unrelated contractor.

“Tenancy is the whole building, kept in working order.”
AcademiaThe rules that trip people up here.
- Security deposits
- FL §83.49 governs how deposits are held and the strict timeline to claim against or return them after move-out.
- Association approval
- Most condos and many HOAs require board approval and an application fee — build it into the timeline, not the surprise.
- Hurricane & humidity
- Shutters, A/C sizing, and moisture control are habitability and insurance issues, not nice-to-haves, in SFL.
- Notice periods
- Month-to-month and fixed-term terminations follow specific FL notice windows for both sides.
- Screening compliance
- Background and credit checks must follow FCRA and fair-housing rules — we keep the process clean.
- Disclosures
- Lead-based paint, radon, and required FL addenda included so the lease holds up.

Do you handle both landlords and tenants?
Yes. Landlords get pricing, marketing, screening and the turn work between tenancies. Tenants get representation on the search and the lease. The two roles are disclosed separately — you are always told which capacity we are acting in.
What does the construction side change about leasing?
Turn work. The gap between tenancies is where a landlord loses money, and it is usually repairs, paint and flooring. Because our affiliated construction company is a known, separately licensed partner — under a separate construction agreement — the turn can be scheduled directly rather than coordinated across unrelated vendors.
Can you handle a unit that needs work before it can be leased?
Yes, and that is the case where the coordinated relationship matters most. Our brokerage works with an affiliated, separately licensed construction company, under a separate construction agreement, so you get one scope and one schedule rather than a leasing agent waiting on a contractor who is waiting on a subcontractor.
Do you lease condominium units with association approval requirements?
Yes. Association approval, screening and any minimum-lease restrictions are handled as part of the process. Rules vary by building, so the association's own documents govern — confirm your building's requirements with its counsel or manager.
