Rental Information for Potential Tenants
Typically, any rentals, that are secured in advance, are for a 3 to 6 month lease. I do generally
have short term rentals, however, I don’t usually know of the availability more than
approximately 30 days
in advance.
The price range for the
rentals is between $900.00 - $1500.00 per month on an average, plus 11.5% tax, and plus utilities.
All rent is collected up front along with the tax and a utility deposit.
Utilities are kept in the owners’ name and reimbursement is collected from the tenants monthly for their usage. The
utility deposit is to pay the final bills after the tenants’ departure. Copies of the bills along
with the balance of the deposit will be returned approximately 60 days after departure.
Tax on rent may be avoided on leases where the rental period is no less than 6 months and
1 week. This 11.5% tax is the same tax that is paid by hotels and motels in the area. It
consists of 6.5% Florida
state sales tax and 5% Manatee county resort tax.
All of the rentals that we handle through Harry Falck Realty are individually owned. Each is fully furnished
with dishes, linens, cookware, silverware, and a television. All of the
homes have microwaves
as well. If you are interested in renting a home, but are unavailable to view it in person, then we will be happy to show
the home to family or friends as well
as email pictures of the residence.
No mail is delivered to the homes in Trailer Estates. You will need to secure a Post Office
Box at the Post Office after your arrival for forwarded mail.
A $500.00 deposit is required to place a lease on a seasonal property. An additional deposit
in the amount of the balance of two month’s rent will be due two months prior to
occupancy. The balance
of the rent, the entire amount of taxes, and an utility deposit ($150 - $200) will be due upon occupancy.
Should you not be able to fulfill the lease, then the deposit will
be forfeited at the owners' discretion.
Trailer Estates Park will charge a $50 application fee for all
tenants. Pool key deposits are $75 with $50 being returned when the key is returned to the Park.
