About a month ago, in reaction to coronavirus, Miami Beach voted to bans short-term rentals in hotels and condominiums. Now the city relaxing the restrictions after the decrease in positive cases in South Florida. This past weekend, the resumption of short term rentals began.

On June 1st, hotels in Miami-Dade County were once again allowed to open their doors, followed closely by short-term rentals. Nonetheless, restrictions that remained in place until earlier this month were enforced last month. In contrast to the rest of the county, Miami Beach was particularly aggressive, choosing to shut down all of its short-term and holiday rentals in mid-July.

It is worth noting that in apartment buildings, these holidays and short term rentals are still not permitted. The day and night occupancy of condos and hotels is relegated to a pair of persons per bedroom, plus two additional persons per unit, meaning a maximum of four people. For traveling families, this limit is upped to six people.

When a hotel or condo is found in breach of occupancy limits, Miami Beach has suggested that they may risk losing their business tax refund for as long as the emergency order remains in effect.
