Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this new law (SB 184 - http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2016/0184<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.flsenate.gov_Session_Bill_2016_0184&d=CwMFAg&c=w665QmAzahCr-IrBxewv5A&r=jRJHINQZk2gBSg_tYgjkozPv9GWE8qlQliU9CbYWhY4&m=kIgr8QEFQxcM-2YJEcbS2inl2gR3WBfJaznDwRA3aL0&s=_GPIeRJTx3GGgL44TUemRA9jxqKS2qhV8g-v2nauU4o&e=>)regarding the rental of property to “servicemembers” (active duty military). The bill applies to condominium associations, cooperatives, HOA’s, and landlords. I apologize if it was already discussed on the board. The bill has not been presented to the Governor yet for approval, but is set to take effect July 1.

Section 1. Section 83.683, Florida Statutes, is created to read:

85         83.683 Rental application by a servicemember.
86         (1) If a landlord requires a prospective tenant to complete
87  a rental application before residing in a rental unit, the
88  landlord must complete processing of a rental application
89  submitted by a prospective tenant who is a servicemember, as
90  defined in s. 250.01, within 7 days after submission and must,
91  within that 7-day period, notify the servicemember in writing of
92  an application approval or denial and, if denied, the reason for
93  denial. Absent a timely denial of the rental application, the
94  landlord must lease the rental unit to the servicemember if all
95  other terms of the application and lease are complied with.
96         (2) If a condominium association, as defined in chapter
97  718, a cooperative association, as defined in chapter 719, or a
98  homeowners  association, as defined in chapter 720, requires a
99  prospective tenant of a condominium unit, cooperative unit, or
100 parcel within the association s control to complete a rental
101 application before residing in a rental unit or parcel, the
102 association must complete processing of a rental application
103 submitted by a prospective tenant who is a servicemember, as
104 defined in s. 250.01, within 7 days after submission and must,
105 within that 7-day period, notify the servicemember in writing of
106 an application approval or denial and, if denied, the reason for
107 denial. Absent a timely denial of the rental application, the
108 association must allow the unit or parcel owner to lease the
109 rental unit or parcel to the servicemember and the landlord must
110 lease the rental unit or parcel to the servicemember if all
111 other terms of the application and lease are complied with.
112        (3) The provisions of this section may not be waived or
113  modified by the agreement of the parties under any
114  circumstances.
