Three things to settle before your Lexington home goes on the rental market
Each one shapes who can rent your home, when, and on what terms.
The association’s leasing rules
Associations can set minimum lease terms, limit how often a home can be leased and require approval of each tenant, and the rules can differ between neighborhoods inside Lexington. Knowing the current rules for your home sets the plan.
Annual or seasonal
A year-round tenant and a seasonal renter want different things, from furnishings to lease length. Worthington’s licensed team can walk you through which fits your home and your plans.
Insurance and condition
Before renting, ask your insurance professional to confirm coverage for your home or condo and your planned rental use. A walk-through before move-in records the home’s condition.
Christine spent nearly 30 years in mortgage lending before managing Lexington rentals
That background helps her explain rental income, expenses and paperwork to owners. She manages single-family homes and condos at Lexington Country Club for Worthington Realty, works with association contacts, inspectors and insurers, and is working toward her Florida real estate license.
