Florida preemption blocks Orlando from requiring landlord-paid tenant relocation assistance, even in condo conversions, demolitions, or major rehabilitations, leaving displaced renters dependent on charity or federal HUD relocation funds.
Florida §125.0103 preempts municipal rent regulation, which Florida courts have read broadly to include relocation assistance mandates. Orlando cannot require landlords to fund tenant moves following no-fault evictions, condo conversions, or substantial rehabilitations. The 2007 Florida condo conversion statute provides only 180 days notice and right of first refusal, not relocation cash. HUD-funded Uniform Relocation Act payments apply only when federal funds are used in displacement. Otherwise, displaced Orlando renters rely on Homeless Services Network of Central Florida emergency funds or Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida case management.
Although no mandatory landlord relocation payments exist, federal Uniform Relocation Act applies to HUD-funded redevelopment projects with statutory moving cost reimbursement and replacement housing payments owed.
