Tired of being a landlord in Pompano Beach, FL? What a rental really costs here in 2026, the Broward landlord rules you stop carrying at closing, selling occupied or vacant, and how to time the exit. Written offer within 24 hours of the visit.
Nobody buys a rental planning to resent it. The house in Pompano Beach Highlands or the Leisureville unit was kept after a move or bought as a nest egg, and for years it quietly paid its own way. Then the numbers shifted. The city raised its millage 5.15 percent above the rolled-back rate for the 2026 budget. The Citizens renewal came in near the Broward average of $2,916, and the insurer wanted to see the roof. The non-homestead cap let the assessed value climb 10 percent in a year. The tenant turned over again, the air handler failed in August, and Broward County added its own notice rules to the state's. The decision to stop is easy. The exit, through vacancy, renovation and a listing, is what keeps owners holding on.
Pompano Beach Cash Buyers buys rentals from landlords who want out, across Pompano Beach and North Broward, occupied or vacant and in any condition. We give a written offer within 24 hours of the visit and close on your date through a Broward County title company. This page is for the owner who is ready: why the math changed, the landlord rules you stop carrying at closing, occupied versus vacant, deferred repairs and code cases, timing the exit, and when holding or listing still makes more sense.
Why a Pompano Beach rental pencils worse in 2026 than when you bought it
Three costs moved against landlords at once. Insurance: Citizens, the state-backed insurer of last resort, still held about 42,500 personal residential policies in Broward County at the end of August 2026, and its approved 2026 average Broward premium is $2,916. Under Statute 627.7011 an insurer may require an inspection of a roof 15 years or older, which covers much of a housing stock with a 1974 median build year. Taxes: a rental gets no homestead exemption and no Save Our Homes cap; it sits under the separate 10 percent non-homestead cap, and the city's FY2026 millage rose 5.15 percent above the rolled-back rate. Flood: new tidal flood maps took effect July 31, 2024, and the city reports over 32 percent of buildings in a Special Flood Hazard Area. None of it is going back to what it was.
The Florida landlord rules you stop carrying at closing
Being a landlord in Broward County means following Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes to the letter. Broward's own Tenant Bill of Rights and Fair Notice ordinances from 2022 are no longer in effect: the state preempted local landlord-tenant rules on July 1, 2023 (Statute 83.425), so the county's longer notice periods are gone. Statute 83.57 requires 30 days' written notice before the end of a monthly period to end a month-to-month tenancy, and Statute 83.56 sets the 3-day and 7-day notices. Statute 83.53 limits repair entry to reasonable notice of at least 24 hours between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and showings need the tenant's consent. Statute 83.49 governs the deposit. Each is manageable; together they are the job. When you sell occupied, every one of these duties passes to the new owner on the closing date, and the tenant's next call goes to us.
Occupied or vacant: you do not have to clear the house first
A sale does not end a lease, so you do not have to wait one out. If a tenant is in place, the lease continues with us, the deposit transfers, and rent for the closing month is split on the settlement statement. You serve no notice, pay for no turnover and lose no rent before closing. If the house is empty between tenants, we buy it empty with the turnover work undone: the carpet you were going to replace, the paint, the appliance that died. We schedule one visit, with the tenant's consent if someone lives there, and we can work from the exterior and your description if you would rather not involve the tenant before closing. Either way the written offer arrives within 24 hours of the visit.
The repairs you have been putting off, and the code case you may not know about
Tired landlords tend to own tired houses: the 1974 roof, the original panel, the plumbing nobody has opened up, the interior worn by a decade of tenants. We price all of it into the written offer and do the work after closing; there is no inspection period in which the number is reopened, and you give no repair credits. If Pompano Beach Code Compliance has an open case on the property, for exterior conditions or an unpermitted addition a tenant built, Statute 162.06(5) requires you to disclose it in writing, give the buyer copies of the notices and notify the code officer within 5 days of the transfer. The case follows the property to us, and any lien recorded after a Special Magistrate hearing is paid on the settlement statement.
Timing the exit: lease end, tax year and the Broward tax calendar
A cash sale lets you pick the closing date, which matters more for a rental than for a home. Property taxes are due by March 31 and delinquent April 1, with tax certificates sold on or before June 1; whatever is owed is prorated and paid at closing. Selling a rental can trigger capital gains tax and recapture of the depreciation you have claimed; a tax professional can tell you whether closing before or after year-end, or an exchange into something that needs less of you, fits your situation. The written offer within 24 hours of the visit gives that planning a real number to start from. If you own more than one rental in Pompano Beach, Margate or Coconut Creek, we can buy them together on one timeline, each priced on its own condition and rent.
How the sale runs when you are done being a landlord
Send the address or addresses, the current rent and lease dates, and the date you want to be finished. We arrange visits with notice and consent where tenants are in place and deliver written offers within 24 hours of each visit. When you accept, the Broward County title company prorates rent and taxes, documents the deposit transfer, orders the mortgage payoff and closes in about a week once title is clear, or on the date your plan needs. We pay the customary closing costs, and there is no commission. If one of your Pompano Beach rentals is in good shape with a reliable tenant, holding it or listing it may serve you better, and Pompano Beach Cash Buyers will tell you which one that is.
