Background on Florida Landlord Tenant Act Protections (HB 1417 / SB 1586)

A key priority for the Florida apartment industry, HB 1417 (Esposito), would amend Chapter 83, Florida's Landlord Tenant Act, to preempt the regulation of the landlord/tenant relationship to the state. In doing so, this legislation ensures a consistent regulatory framework of landlord/tenant law across Florida and includes but is not limited to the resident screening process, security deposits, and lease agreements.

What is the current status of this legislation?

HB 1417 passed both the House and Senate. The Governor has 15 days (June 29th) to take action on this legislation.
