Miami-Dade does not require landlord-funded relocation assistance for ordinary lease terminations, but tenants displaced by code condemnation, demolition, or government acquisition may receive Uniform Relocation Act benefits or county housing assistance through Public Housing and Community Development.
Florida law preempts most local mandates on landlords to pay relocation, and Miami-Dade has not enacted a no-fault relocation ordinance like those in California cities. Tenants displaced by code-enforcement condemnations, unsafe-structure orders under Chapter 8, or county acquisition for public projects may qualify for Uniform Relocation Act (URA) payments if federal funds are involved, plus emergency rental assistance through Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD). The county's Office of Housing Advocacy connects displaced tenants with hotel vouchers, security-deposit grants, and Camillus House referrals when displacement is sudden.
Landlords who illegally lock out tenants to force displacement violate FL §83.67 and are liable for triple damages plus possible criminal charges.
