Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I ran the onsite rental program for a condominium complex in Siesta Key, FL and rented the units mainly for vactioners. I was not required to have a license as I was paid by the management company for the complex. I was let go in July due to a decrease in rentals. The owners were not happy and told me if I went somewhere else or went out on my own, the would move with me. It would be worth my while if I could do the rentals if I didn't need a real estate license and could keep the commission myself. The minimum rental at the complex is 1 week. I understand I would be exempt from a license if the property is considered transient lodging. I believe this would apply to this complex. How can I confirm this?

The florida buidling code defines what transient lodging is. You can confirm whether a building is considered transient lodging by checking the owner's occupancy license to see what type of business they have registered as and contacting the building department in your area to confirm if the business is considered transient lodging.
