Is there a limit to how long you can Stay in a Florida hotel UPDATE

[JanetRose]

during one visit?

UPDATE
the reason I'm asking is during my last visit to WDW, I met someone that worked at the Grand Floridian (front desk) and she told me that there is some Florida law where you cannot stay at the same hotel for either three weeks or one month. i guess there is a daughter of a Saudi Arabia king that stayed there for a month but had to leave for one night to stay at the Polynesian before returning back to the Grand Floridian because of the law - I know it started with the letter S.

I often wondered this...In my Mega Millions fantasy where my dh , ds and I stay in the Contemporary for an extended period of time.

I doubt there is a limit as to how long you stay, as long as you pay.
Someone once told me after 30 days a guest would have to be evicted as if they were a renter, if they failed to pay. But I don't know if there was truth to that or what details would matter -- such as a room change during the stay, etc.

I believe we discussed this a while back, and at least at WDW, if I remember correctly, Disney will make you "switch rooms" after 30 days.

I would guess that you can stay for as long as you can pay for. You could always call and ask. I seem to recall that years ago the were rooms or suites in the Contemporary that corporations and wealthy guests would take for a year at a time (or longer?).

I would not think this is too unusual as extended stay suites and hotels are common pretty much everywhere.

I don't know the exact answer, but a woman I used to work with stayed in a Disney hotel for longer than a month. Her husband had a heart attack while they were down there and ended up having to have surgery so she had to live in the hotel for an extended period of time while this went on and he recooperated.

Florida Tax Law says that if you have a lease for six months or longer no tax is to be collected.

If you do not have a lease, taxes are collected for the first six months and then there is no tax after that.

Which is interesting because some states, which may have different periods, will allow for refund of taxes paid if the continuous stay goes past a certain length.

In Nevada, a hotel can't collect room tax after the 31st day of occupancy. If anybody stays that long they just check out and check back in.

I don't know about Florida, but in San Francisco you cannot stay longer than 30 days as a different set of laws concerning tenants kicks in.

If you stay longer than 30 days you are considered a tenant. Lots of renter protection stuff kicks in concerning rent control, eviction, etc.

i am almost postive that the most amount of points you're allowed to have for DVC would equal one day less then 6 months...i believe after 6 months you've become a tennent or something along those lines...
