Homestead exemption on a house hack?

[Samuel Ruelke]

Hello BP guys & gals, I have a quick question regarding homestead exemption on a house hack property. 

I am currently house hacking in Orlando Florida; 3/2 SFR. This is my first time owning a home and it is my primary residence & will be for the next year or so most likely. I'm living in one bedroom & renting out the other two.

My question: Can I still claim homestead exemption on the property even though I'm renting out two of the bedrooms?

In addition, there is a portion of the homestead exemption application in my county that asks the following: "Is any part of this property rented or leased? (Yes/No)"

How should this question from the application be answered? I do not want to lie, but is a question like that on a homestead application valid to ask? This will be my first time applying for homestead exemption and don't want to start off on the wrong footing.

Thanks in advance!
