The City of Miami Beach considers short terms rentals (less than six months plus one day) illegal in the zoning area including the Roosevelt

The City of Miami Beach defines a short term rental as less than six month plus one day, and they do not allow short term rentals in much of South Beach (including where the Roosevelt is located). The City's wording is very consistent and explicit as related to that (including the "plus one day"), and they consider violations as illegal with significant consequences.

Here is some relevant online information from the City of the Miami Beach:

Per http://web.miamibeachfl.gov/planning/scroll.aspx?id=69472

"Vacation/short-term rentals (less than six months and one day) have become popular alternatives to traditional hotels. However, pursuant to the Miami Beach City Code (Miami Beach Land Development Regulation – Chapter 142, Article IV, Division 3) vacation/short-term rentals are prohibited in all single-family homes and in many multi-family housing buildings in certain zoning districts of Miami Beach. (See zoning map). Approved vacation/short-term rentals have the proper licenses and/or certificates of use that permits the activity. If a building or unit is found to be operating a short-term rental illegally, tenants/visitors will be evicted and fines will apply to the owner."
