For Florida landlords & rental property owners
The tenant's lawyer names you personally. Every property you own is now in play.
A slip on an icy step at one rental can put your other properties — and your own home — on the table. Landlords are the single most common LLC users in Florida for exactly that reason.

Why landlords & rental property owners in Florida use an LLC
One property's lawsuit reaches everything you own
Held personally, every rental and your personal accounts sit in one legal bucket. An LLC builds a wall around the business.
Serial landlords often use one LLC per property
Larger portfolios isolate each building so a judgment against one can't touch the others. Start with one; add more as you grow — we file each for the same flat price.
Florida specifics matter
Transferring an existing rental into an LLC touches property-transfer paperwork, your lender's due-on-sale clause, and insurance — do the transfer eyes-open. (We're not lawyers; for an occupied transfer, spend an hour with one.)
What your rental property business needs alongside the LLC
- A separate bank account per LLC — commingling rent is how landlords lose the liability shield in court
- Leases signed by the LLC as landlord
- Your May 1 annual report, every year, per LLC
Annual report service: Multiple LLCs means multiple May 1 deadlines. We file all of them automatically — $149/yr each, state fee included. Learn more →
Questions landlords & rental property owners ask us
Should my Florida rental be in an LLC?
For most landlords, yes: it separates the property's liabilities from your personal assets, and Florida's $50 formation and $25/yr statement make it one of the cheapest liability walls in the country.
One LLC for all properties, or one each?
One LLC is dramatically better than none. Portfolio landlords often use one per property for isolation. Costs scale linearly: $89 each with us, $25/yr each to the state.
Does moving my rental into an LLC trigger my mortgage's due-on-sale clause?
It can, technically — many lenders don't act on owner transfers to their own LLC, but that's a conversation to have with your lender and an attorney before deeding an occupied, mortgaged property. New purchases are simpler: buy in the LLC's name from day one.
