October 2009, short term rental or vacation rentals less than 6 months are still prohibited by LAW in Miami Beach , South Beach, and almost all of the cities in Miami Dade. More and more people are evicted by the Police when unscrupulous owners and agents continue to rent "against the law." Only very few Rentals Corp. have rights to operate Vacation Rentals in Miami Dade since they did it legally by paying sale and transient taxes.

January 2009, the City of Miami Beach & South Beach confirmed that Short Term Rental is prohibited in Miami Beach or South Beach less than 6 month and 1 day. Don't take the risk, you can be evict by the Police ! North Miami Beach is the nearest legal town for short term rental from South Beach. If you do not want your holidays ending-up a nightmare, refuse any offers of short term rentals in the city of Miami Beach. Refuse also contracts for 6 months that are fraudulent to avoid Miami Dade taxes or done to make you believe that this is legal when you know that you asked for only “2 weeks” rent. It is a criminal offence.
