Short-term rentals, referred to locally as "short-term vacation rentals," are legal in Orlando, Florida, under specific regulations set by the city. Properties offered for short-term rental must be rented for periods of less than 30 days and require proper registration, with applicable fees paid. Popular types of properties include urban apartments and single-family homes in tourist-heavy areas, though there is also demand for vacation homes in suburban settings near major attractions like Walt Disney World. The business landscape is heavily influenced by tourism, with a significant proportion of guests being leisure travelers, although there is also a steady stream from business travelers, particularly during conventions and events. The City of Orlando's Planning Division, under the Department of Economic Development, oversees the regulatory framework governing these rentals.
