Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act governs covered residential tenancies, subject to the exclusions in section 83.42. Section 83.51 requires landlords to comply with applicable building, housing, and health codes and sets dwelling-maintenance duties that depend on the property type and lease facts.

Check the current statutory exclusions and property-specific code and lease duties. This is informational context, not legal advice.

Exemptions

Residency incidental to detention, medical, geriatric, educational, counseling, religious, or similar services is excluded.
Occupancy under a contract of sale, transient occupancy in a hotel or similar public lodging establishment, and occupancy by a proprietary cooperative or condominium owner are among the statutory exclusions.
