Where can I find a Live/Work in Florida?
Hello everyone!
I am thinking about moving from San Francisco to Florida. I work in finance and would like to rent a house or apartment in Florida and use it both as my office and as my living space.
In San Francisco, there were very strict restrictions on living in commercial spaces and working in residential homes (unless zoning allowed it and you didn’t have in-person clients or employees, etc.).
I was wondering how things work in Florida. Do cities like Miami enforce restrictions on living and working in the same space? Are there any specific areas, like SoMa in San Francisco, with lofts specifically designed for this type of live/work setup?
Or, if I rent a regular house or apartment in the city, can I use the address to register a company and occasionally meet with clients or have a few employees there?
P.S. The business I’m looking to operate is a financial advisory firm.
P.S. 2: In almost all California lease agreements, there is usually a standard clause stating: “This apartment/house is rented for residential use only, and tenants are not allowed to conduct any business activities on the premises.”
Is there a similar standard clause in Florida lease agreements as well?
