Rental Application Criteria
Applicants may be subject to additional qualification criteria set by homeowner associations (HOAs) or municipalities. Meeting these criteria does not guarantee that residents meet all requirements set by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
Avoiding Rental Scams
Unfortunately, property rental scams are becoming increasingly common, and it’s important to protect yourself against these schemes when searching for a new home. We published an article that can help.
Sample Lease
Our leases are created by the law office of Heist, Weisse and Wolk, PA. Prior to signing your lease, you can review this contract between tenant and landlord.
Tenant's Bill Of Rights
Pursuant to Hillsborough County Ordinance 2021 21-7, landlords and other lessors of residential rental property in unincorporated Hillsborough County are required to distribute this notice to persons applying to rent a rental unit. Where no application is required, this Notice must be provided prior to the tenant’s occupation of a rental unit.
This notice provides a general overview of rental rights and related resources for tenants in unincorporated Hillsborough County, but is not intended to provide legal advice by either the County or the landlord providing the notice.
Utilities Information
We’ve compiled a list of local utility contacts and local resources that you may need. So if you don’t want to look them up yourself, please reference the list below! We hope it’s helpful to you.
Lead Based Paint Info
In homes that were built prior to 1978 there may be the possibility that lead based paint may have been used on the inside or outside of the home. Federal law requires that you be made aware of that potential with a disclosure and have access to the Lead Based Paint Booklet linked here. Our maintenance division uses Lead Paint Certified vendors when work on the home requires disturbance of more than the allowed surface area. For more information on lead based paint, you can refer to the EPA’s website.
Tenant FAQs
We’ve compiled a list of the most frequent questions we’re asked by renters.
Renters Insurance
Why do you need renter’s insurance?
Your lease has a clause that states personal property is not covered by the Landlord’s home owner policy for any reason. Water and storm damage to your personal property would only be covered by your own policy. Also, if you or someone you invite to your home is injured at the home, you as the tenant are responsible for any injury claims.
As a Tenant, you have to expect the unexpected and prepare to have coverage for personal loss. Insurance options are available for your personal possessions, auto, boat, general liability and more.
If you’d like to review costs and coverage, please reach out to our insurance partner, Preferred Partners Insurance by calling (727) 258-6769 or emailing quotes@InsuranceByPPI.com. You can find more information on rental policies on their website.
Pet Policy
Pet Application
Pets will be considered by owners who allow them but ONLY if the Pet is REGISTERED AND SCREENED through our online pet screening portal.
