Hernando County runs no general registration or licensing scheme for long-term rentals, and Fla. Stat. §83.425 preempts local tenancy regulation to the state. A landlord's core duties, habitability, notice, and handling security deposits under §83.49, come from state law, not a county program.
Unlike some states, Florida does not require landlords to register or license long-term rental units, and the 2023 preemption in Fla. Stat. §83.425 keeps Hernando County and Brooksville from imposing their own rental-registration or inspection regime on the tenancy. Short-term vacation rentals are a separate matter governed by state licensing. For an ordinary Spring Hill or Weeki Wachee lease, the landlord's obligations run through Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act: keep the unit habitable under §83.51, and hold and return the security deposit under §83.49, returning it within 15 days or sending a written claim within 30 days.
Missing the §83.49 deadlines, no 15-day return and no 30-day written claim, forfeits the landlord's right to keep any of the deposit and can expose them to the tenant's court costs and attorney's fees.
