Licensed Florida real estate brokerage
Find a Rental with a licensed agent in North Miami Beach, FL
Find a Rental in North Miami Beach and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.
North Miami Beach's typical home was built around 1966, according to the Census, and the Biscayne Boulevard and Intracoastal corridors add many mid-rise and high-rise condominiums. A rental search here means planning around association approval, the age of the building, flood exposure and hurricane-season lease terms before you commit to a move-in date.
Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage, and a licensed Florida brokerage license is valid in every county. After you send a request, Premier Real Estate Group Inc or a licensed agent we refer you to will contact you by phone or email. We start with your move-in date, bedrooms and commute, then build a search around what each building or association requires. The consultation is free and carries no obligation.
North Miami Beach sits a mile or two from the Atlantic and on Biscayne Bay canals, and it is in Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Year-round humidity and salt air affect what you see at a showing: musty ducts, sticking doors, and corroded locks, gates and garage hardware. Before signing, ask who handles hurricane-season preparation, what the association requires of tenants, and whether the unit has any flood history.
What to know in North Miami Beach
Condo and HOA tenant approval
Condominium and HOA communities commonly require an application, background screening and a fee, and some set minimum lease terms or leasing caps. Approval is the association's decision, so build that step into your move-in date.
Older buildings and milestone inspections
With a median build year of 1966, many condo buildings here are past 30 years. Florida requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for condo buildings three stories or taller, so ask the association or landlord whether those reports exist.
Flood history and renters insurance
Flood zones come from FEMA maps, and homes outside a Special Flood Hazard Area can still flood. A landlord's policy does not cover your belongings, so ask about flood history and confirm renters coverage with your insurance agent.
Moisture, mold and salt-air wear
Humidity can cause mold in ducts, slow-drying dryer vents and swollen door hardware, and salt air corrodes exterior locks and gate operators. Look for these signs at the showing and note them in writing.
Hurricane-season duties in the lease
The Atlantic season runs June 1 to November 30. Read the lease for who installs or stores shutters, who handles impact-rated openings and gates, and what you must do before a storm.
Security deposit rules
Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II) sets how deposits must be held and the written notice and timelines for a claim after move-out. Florida has no statewide cap on deposit amounts, so read the terms closely.
Pre-1978 housing disclosures
A lot of the housing stock here dates from the 1950s through 1970s, so the federal lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 housing may apply to the unit you are considering.

Florida rules and paperwork in North Miami Beach
Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II) governs most residential tenancies, and state law preempts local rent control in most circumstances. Someone who finds, shows or negotiates rentals for others for compensation generally must be licensed, so verify license status with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Real Estate, under the Florida Real Estate Commission. Condo and HOA documents, estoppel certificates and tenant approval rules vary by association, so ask for them early. For buildings three stories or taller, ask about the milestone inspection (s. 553.899, F.S.) and the structural integrity reserve study (s. 718.112(2)(g), F.S.). Homestead exemption is for an owner's primary residence and is applied for with the county property appraiser, so it does not apply to a tenant. Short-term rentals may involve sales tax, tourist development taxes, local registration and DBPR licensing, so verify those with DBPR, the Florida Department of Revenue and the city.

Find a Rental in North Miami Beach: common questions
- How long does condo approval take in North Miami Beach?
- It depends on the association, which sets its own application, screening and meeting process. Ask for the requirements before you apply, and do not set a firm move-in date until approval is confirmed.
- Does a landlord's insurance cover my belongings in a flood?
- Generally no. Flood damage is usually excluded from standard homeowners policies, and a landlord's coverage is not renters coverage. Confirm what you need with your insurance agent.
- Why does the age of the building matter when I rent here?
- The Census puts the median build year around 1966, so many buildings are older. For condo buildings three stories or taller, ask whether the milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study have been completed.
- Do closing taxes apply when I rent?
- Deed and mortgage taxes apply to purchases, not rentals. If you later buy, Miami-Dade's deed rate is 60 cents per 100 dollars of the price, and who pays each item is set by the contract and is negotiable. You can use the free Florida Doc Stamp & Closing Tax Calculator at /tools/florida-closing-costs.
- What should I check about hurricane season in my lease?
- North Miami Beach is in Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so ask who handles shutters, impact-rated openings and gates, and what you must do before a storm. Get those duties in writing.
