Property management in
Fort Lauderdale.
Full-service, genuinely local management for Fort Lauderdale rental owners — screening, leasing, 24/7 maintenance, and clear monthly reporting, handled by a Hollywood-based team that treats your investment like our own.
We know Fort Lauderdale — because we're right here.
Fort Lauderdale's canals, beaches, and downtown keep rental demand strong year-round. We manage homes and condos from Victoria Park and Rio Vista to Coral Ridge, giving owners a local team that's on the ground rather than two counties away.
The "Venice of America" attracts professionals, relocators, and seasonal residents. Well-priced, well-presented rentals lease fast here — and that's exactly where hands-on local management pays off.
Local hands, big-team systems.
Strict tenant screening
Background, credit, and rental-history checks on every applicant in Fort Lauderdale, so your property is placed in reliable hands.
24/7 maintenance
A vetted local vendor network on call around the clock — issues resolved quickly and cost-effectively.
Financial transparency
Income, expenses, and monthly statements in your owner portal — anytime, from anywhere.
The Fort Lauderdale owner we usually meet.
Fort Lauderdale owners hold a mix of waterfront condos, townhouses near downtown, and single-family homes in Victoria Park, Rio Vista and Coral Ridge. A large share are professionals who relocated, kept their first property rather than selling it, and now need it run without their involvement.
Fort Lauderdale is about fifteen minutes north of our Hollywood office on I-95 or Federal Highway. We show properties ourselves and meet vendors on site, rather than managing a city we only ever see on paper.
Managing a Fort Lauderdale rental, start to finish.
Every Fort Lauderdale property we take on runs through the same four stages. Nothing here is optional or upsold — it is simply what full management covers.
1. Price and prepare
We walk the property, compare it against what is actually leasing nearby in Fort Lauderdale, and tell you what it should rent for — plus the specific work worth doing first. Overpricing by a hundred dollars can cost a month of vacancy.
2. Market and screen
The listing goes out with proper photography, and we show it ourselves. Every applicant gets background, credit and rental-history checks. Where the building requires it, we run the association application and board approval too.
3. Collect and maintain
Rent is collected through the portal, and maintenance runs through a vetted local vendor network with 24/7 emergency coverage. You approve anything above the threshold you set; below it, we simply handle it.
4. Report and renew
Income, expenses and statements land in your owner portal every month. Ahead of lease end we recommend renew or re-list, with the market reasoning behind it. Eight in ten of our residents renew.
What Florida law asks of Fort Lauderdale landlords.
Residential tenancies in Fort Lauderdale are governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 83, and two deadlines cause most of the expensive mistakes we see owners make on their own.
Non-payment of rent. Before an eviction can be filed, the landlord must serve a written 3-day notice to pay or vacate under § 83.56(3). The statute sets the wording, and a notice that paraphrases it can be thrown out — sending the whole process back to the start. We cover this in detail in our guide to the Florida eviction process.
Security deposits. If you intend to keep any part of a deposit, § 83.49 gives you 30 days from the end of the tenancy to send written notice of your claim. Miss it and the right to claim against the deposit is gone entirely, regardless of the damage. Our guide to Florida security deposit law explains how the clock is counted.
When CIMCO manages the property, both of these are tracked and handled on your behalf.
What management costs in Fort Lauderdale.
A flat 8% management fee — the same rate for every owner. Not a range, not a starting point, and not a number that changes depending on how many doors you hold or how the conversation goes.
That fee covers tenant sourcing and screening, leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination with 24/7 emergency response, and monthly owner reporting. The rental analysis is free and carries no obligation.
Most management companies in South Florida will not publish a number at all, which makes comparison harder than it should be. Our guide to what property management costs in South Florida sets out how the pricing normally works in this market and which add-on fees to ask about before you sign anything — with anyone.

Do you manage condos in Fort Lauderdale, or only single-family homes?
Both. Condo and townhouse management in Fort Lauderdale carries extra work a house does not — association applications, board approval, estoppel requests and move-in scheduling — and we handle that as part of placement rather than leaving it to the owner.
What happens if my Fort Lauderdale tenant stops paying rent?
Florida requires a written 3-day notice to pay or vacate before an eviction for non-payment can be filed, under Fla. Stat. § 83.56(3). The wording is set by statute and cannot be paraphrased — a defective notice restarts the process. We serve the notice correctly, keep you informed, and coordinate with counsel if it proceeds to filing. Our guide to the Florida eviction process walks through each step.
When does a Fort Lauderdale landlord have to return a security deposit?
If you intend to claim any part of the deposit, Fla. Stat. § 83.49 gives you 30 days from the end of the tenancy to send written notice of the claim. Miss that deadline and you forfeit the right to claim against the deposit entirely. We track the clock from the day the tenancy ends and handle the notice for you.
Can I own a Fort Lauderdale rental if I live out of state or overseas?
Yes, and a large share of the owners we work with do. Everything runs remotely: statements and documents in your owner portal, approvals by email, and a local team physically present for showings, inspections, vendors and association matters. We also serve Hebrew-speaking owners in Israel through a dedicated Hebrew-language page.
