New Ordinances that Miami-Dade and Broward Landlords Must Abide By

Landlords did you know that Miami-Dade and Broward recently passed ordinances that affect your rights?

* A residential tenancy without a specific duration and in which the rent is payable on a quarterly or monthly basis may be terminated by either the landlord or tenant by giving not less than sixty (60) days' written notice prior to the end of the applicable quarterly or monthly period.

*Unless notice of a subsequent increase of the rental rate is expressly provided in writing in a lease for a specific term, a residential landlord that seeks to increase the rental rate by more than five percent (5%) at the end of a lease for a specific term or during a tenancy without a specific duration in which the rent is payable on a quarterly or monthly basis, must provide sixty (60) days' written notice to the tenant. Within said sixty (60) day period, the tenant must either:

(1)Accept the increased rent;

(2)Reach an acceptable compromise on rental amount; or

(3)Reject the increased rent.

If the required sixty (60) days' written notice has been provided and the tenant has not agreed to the increased rent or reached an acceptable compromise, at the landlord's option, the landlord may impose the increased rent or require the tenant(s) to vacate the residence, or pursue any other remedy available under applicable law.

* It is unlawful for a Landlord of a Rental Unit to enter into a Rental Agreement for a Rental Unit under the Landlord's control or authority, without first providing the prospective Tenant with a copy of the Tenant's Bill of Rights. A Landlord may comply with this requirement through an agent of the Landlord (e.g., a property manager, rental manager, or real estate licensee).(c)For existing Tenants already occupying a Rental Unit on or before the date set forth in Section 20-108(a), the Landlord must provide the Tenant with the Tenant's Bill of Rights prior to the commencement of a new rental term. For Tenants with rental terms of thirty (30) days or less that are recurring in nature (e.g., ongoing month-to-month tenancies), the Landlord must provide the Tenant's Bill of Rights prior to October 1, 2022, and thereafter no less than once per year.

Contact me if you need help navigating these new requirements placed on Miami-Dade and Broward County landlords.
