No, you do not need to be licensed in order to rent your house, condo or townhome in Florida. In fact, you don't need to be licensed at all in order to rent property that is yours.

However, it is illegal to rent property that doesn't belong to you without a real estate license. That means you can't simply list for rent your mother's house, or your friend's condo for rent as a favor without being duly licensed as a real estate agent in Florida.

Keep in mind, if it weren't legal to list for rent or sale your own property, then For Sale By Owner or For Rent By Owner wouldn't exist. Yet, there are lots of properties listed FSBO or FRBO which means it absolutely must be legal.

With that said, it may be smarter to list your property on the MLS and all attendant 3rd party sides via a flat fee MLS through a service like Hauseit. This way, you don't have to pay a traditional broker fee, but you can still get the same exposure to all possible buyers via the MLS and the hundreds of sites your local MLS will syndicate listings to.
