Miami-Dade County passed the Tenants Bill of Rights yesterday - I have not
gone through in detail but there is a lot here. Our committee was invited
to comment on the bill of rights, and our comments were that many of the
County's goals could be accomplished if tenants had an understanding of
existing rights under the Landlord Tenant Act. Our recommendation was to
devote resources to a department that could help tenants maneuver existing
forms and processes and potentially devote resources to
translation services. The County went well beyond this recommendation and
has implemented rules beyond the scope of the Landlord Tenant Act.

Broward County voted on a notice rule for rent increases as well yesterday.
I believe this passed.
At our last meeting we had a discussion about the Miami-Dade rent increase
ordinance and Kevin Rabin pointed us to an opinion on the preemption issue.
I am hoping he can circulate for us. Do we want to add this to our agenda
for the next meeting?
