Especially with the new "reserve" bill floating out there, it is likely that association special assessments will skyrocket in many cases and rents will necessarily go up- or people will just need to terminate the tenants. That presumes that it meant that you can't increase the rent to the same tenant by more than 10% BUT it is also not particularly clear whether that is a cap that relates to the same TENANT or whether you just can't raise the rent you charge to anyone more than 10%- if it is the latter than the landlords will be truly destroyed by what the legislature is doing with its other legislation.<div><br></div><div>The other one is no big deal in my opinion.</div><div><br></div><div>Deborah Marks<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Deborah Marks, PLLC<br></div>11767 S.

<p class="MsoNormal">The attached bill was discussed during our weekly Legislative Committee Zoom meeting this morning. It appears that it currently has momentum for passage. I recall that there was some discussion about this on the listserv and we have been
asked whether the RP Leasing Committee would like to pursue technical advice for this bill. This involves providing an outline written in plain English that identities the issues and proposed solutions. Please let me know if you’re interested in participating
in providing this technical advice. Please note that any memo we draft may be forwarded to our lobbyists and legislative staff or legislators, so keep this in mind if you agree to assist.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Summary: <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fees in Lieu of Security Deposits: CS/HB 537 by Representative Mooney and CS/SB 884 by Senator Boyd are companion measures that authorized a landlord to offer a tenant option to pay a fee in lieu of a security deposit and provides implementing
procedures regarding the options. CS/HB 537 received 2 committee references and has been amended and approved by the first committee. CS/SB 884 also received 3 committee references and has been amended and approved by the first committee.<u></u><u></u></p><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/3560+Cardinal+Point+Drive,+Suite+202+%0D%0A+Jacksonville,+FL+32257?entry=gmail&source=g" target="_blank">
