Gainesville Quality Rental Houses specializes in homes rented to students adjacent to the University of Florida and is owned by Mike and Michele Martin. We both attended the University of Florida and as such we have both experienced good and bad landlords when we were students. It is very frustrating when an AC or refrigerator breaks and you cannot get ahold of anyone or they seem not to care. We have experienced that first hand when we were students and therefore we are very sensitive to problems that might arise during your tenancy. When I was a student I did not have thousands of dollars to move into a house so we are fairly flexible in letting tenants pay deposit money over a period of time. Wherever you decide to rent I highly recommend talking to the present tenants to get a true picture of the landlord/tenant relationship. If I can answer any questions of if you would like to see any of our houses feel free to text of call anytime. 352-339-2342 or email mmartin3@comcast.net
I want to thank everyone that renewed for next year and the new tenants that signed a lease. At this time all properties have been leased for fall 2025.
Please be aware in looking at the pictures that room colors might be different than when you would move in. In order to let tenants help make the house their own I permit all tenants to paint the interior of the house the colors that they choose, at the end of the lease It goes back to antique white unless the next tenants like the present colors.
If you have any questions or want to make an appointment to see a house just call or text me at 352-339-2342.
