Ziprent handles leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination and statutory deposit accounting for Winter Garden owners — one flat monthly fee per property.
Winter Garden’s local business tax reaches the people who manage rental homes inside the city. Chapter 66 of the city code, as amended by Ordinance 21-36, sets a classification at § 66-104(121) for “Property Management (apartment/condo/other rentals)” at $86.00 a year. The tax year runs 1 October to 30 September, with fees prorated to a half-year after 1 April.
The penalties are laid out in § 66-93: a delinquency penalty of 10% for the month of October plus 5% for each further month, capped at 25%; a flat 25% penalty for anyone who engages in or manages a business without first obtaining a receipt; and, for anyone still unpaid 150 days after the initial notice, civil action with court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and a penalty of up to $250. Confirm your manager holds a current City receipt.
Winter Garden’s tenant pool turns over with the school year, and the difference between a clean possession and a dismissed eviction is usually the notice. Fla. Stat. 83.56 gives a tenant 3 days — excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — to pay or vacate after written demand for unpaid rent. For a lease violation that can be fixed, the tenant gets 7 days from delivery of the notice to cure.
For a non-curable violation, the notice is 7 days to vacate, with no cure period. Only the rent notice excludes weekends and holidays, and miscounting it is the single most common reason a Florida eviction gets thrown out. Separately, Fla. Stat. 83.53(2) requires at least 12 hours’ notice before entering to make repairs, and entry between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Tenants and Owners Love Us
With the reviews to back it up as well 😎
“Extremely well-organized, professional, and efficient!!! […] Ziprent was able to do this with ease and in a very straight-forward way. I believe the best part about this company is how it is structured with several teams handling different aspects of the management (i.e. onboarding, repairs, leasing, etc), which made the whole process seamless. That in addition to also being affordable with flat-rate pricing makes this property management company best-in-class.If you’re looking for a property manager, Ziprent comes highly recommended!”

Winter Garden FAQ
You got questions? We've got answers.
Our current average time is 14-21 days but depending on price and location it can be anywhere between 3-20 days in general.
Tenants will submit their request via their online account. Our platform will automatically send out bid requests from our extensive vendor network. We will surface the bid to you for your approval and then coordinate with the vendor and tenant to get the issue resolved.
To date we have done on-demand without any major issues. We carry an additional $50k in liability insurance to cover any damages, beyond your coverage, that may occur. Should a key go missing, we will have the locks rekeyed at our cost.
Depends on the location of the property. But at the very least, it needs to be free of clutter and trash, it needs to have been professionally cleaned or cleaned to that quality. Flooring and paint go a long way in making a rental feel refreshed.
We can usually schedule to come out to take photos, do a walk-through and take keys within 24-48 hours. We prefer to take photos when the property is completely empty and move-in ready and can generally get a listing online within 24-48 hours of taking photos.
IOur property management contract can be used for both tenant placement and property management. Our property management fee is tied together with rent collection, so if we aren’t collecting rent through our platform then we aren’t charging our property management fee.
