Find a Rental with a licensed agent in Tamarac, FL
Find a Rental in Tamarac and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.
Tamarac grew from a planned golf-course community incorporated in 1963, and Census data (ACS 5-year, 2022) puts the median year built around 1980. Finding a rental here means working with concrete-block-and-stucco single-family homes, villas, duplexes and low-rise condominiums that are decades old, many inside HOA or condo-association subdivisions. Plan around association tenant approval, the age of the building, flood and wind exposure, and Florida's lease and deposit rules before you commit to a move-in date.

When 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 help you organize the search, the application and the lease review. The first consultation is free, with no obligation.
Most homes in Tamarac are owner-occupied, according to the Census, so many rentals are privately owned homes or units inside associations that set their own leasing rules. Much of the housing is 40 to 60 years old, and the city sits in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone about eight miles inland from the Atlantic. That makes it worth asking about roof condition, impact-rated openings, garage doors and gates, and what the lease says about hurricane-season preparation. Humidity and salt-laden breezes also wear on hardware, HVAC and ducts, so ask who handles maintenance and how repairs get reported. Association approval timelines and renters insurance for flood and wind-related loss should be settled before your move-in date is firm.
What to know in Tamarac
Association approval of tenants
Condo and HOA communities commonly require an application, background screening and a fee, and some have minimum lease terms or leasing caps. Approval is up to the association, so build that step into your move-in plan.
Older buildings and systems
With a median build year around 1980 per the Census, ask about roof age, electrical, plumbing and HVAC condition. Document existing wear at move-in so it is on record.
Flood history and renters insurance
FEMA flood maps set flood zones, and homes outside a Special Flood Hazard Area can still flood. Standard policies generally exclude flood damage, so ask about the property's flood history and confirm coverage options with your insurance agent.
Hurricane-season responsibilities in the lease
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. Read what the lease says about shutters, securing patios and who handles storm preparation and post-storm repairs.
Security deposit rules
Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II) governs how deposits are held and the written notice timelines for claims after move-out. There is no statewide cap on deposit amounts, so read the deposit terms closely.
Seasonal demand swings
Tamarac sees demand around hurricane season and again when seasonal residents return from late fall through early spring. Annual and seasonal leases follow different calendars, so start early.

Florida rules and paperwork in Tamarac
Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II) governs most residential tenancies, including deposits and the notice a landlord must follow to claim against one. Expect a written lease, a rental application and screening authorization, and a federal lead-based paint disclosure for housing built before 1978. Condo and HOA communities may require tenant approval and charge an application fee. Where a condo building is three stories or taller, Florida requires a milestone structural inspection at 30 years (s. 553.899, F.S.) and a structural integrity reserve study (s. 718.112(2)(g), F.S.), so ask about those reports. Homestead exemption applies to an owner's primary residence through the county property appraiser, so it generally is not something a tenant applies for. A lease is not a sale, so deed and mortgage closing taxes do not apply to renting. If you later buy, the free Florida Doc Stamp & Closing Tax Calculator at /tools/florida-closing-costs shows how the statewide rates apply, and who pays each item is set by the contract and is negotiable. Short-term and vacation rentals can involve additional taxes and licensing. Verify current rules with the Florida DBPR Division of Real Estate, the Florida Department of Revenue and your local government.

Timing and next steps
In Tamarac, demand tends to rise ahead of and during hurricane season, with another bump from late fall through early spring when seasonal residents return. Statewide, annual-lease demand generally peaks in late spring and summer, and seasonal bookings are often arranged in late summer and fall. Starting early gives you room for association approval and lease review.

Find a Rental in Tamarac: common questions
- Do Tamarac condos and HOAs approve tenants?
- Many do. Associations in Florida may require an application, background screening and a fee, and some set minimum lease terms or leasing caps. Ask for the association's rules before you apply, and understand that approval is the association's decision.
- Does renters insurance cover flood in Tamarac?
- Flood damage is generally excluded from standard policies and often needs separate coverage. Check with your insurance agent about options and ask the landlord about the property's flood history.
- Does the age of Tamarac housing matter when renting?
- The Census shows a median build year around 1980, so many units have older roofs, systems and garage hardware. Ask about their condition, and document the unit at move-in.
- What should a Florida lease say about security deposits?
- Chapter 83, Part II of the Florida statutes covers how deposits are held and the notice timelines for claims. There is no statewide cap on amounts, so read the terms carefully and verify questions with a Florida attorney.
- Does hurricane season affect a Tamarac rental?
- Tamarac is in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the Atlantic season runs June 1 to November 30. Review lease language about storm preparation duties and repairs before you sign.
