Tampa does not require landlords to pay tenant relocation assistance for no-fault evictions because Florida §125.0103 preempts rent control and broad housing cost mandates, leaving only voluntary or federally funded programs through the Tampa Housing Authority.
Unlike Los Angeles or Portland, Tampa has no ordinance forcing landlords to fund tenant moves after substantial rehab, demolition, or owner move-in evictions. Florida Statute §125.0103 prohibits local rent controls, and Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Ch. 83) sets the exclusive procedural framework for ending tenancies. Tampa Housing Authority (THA) and Hillsborough County partners may offer emergency rental and relocation aid through federal HOME, ESG, and Continuum of Care funds for qualifying low-income residents, but these are voluntary safety nets rather than landlord obligations created by Tampa code.
Landlords who skip Florida Ch. 83 termination notices can face wrongful eviction claims, but no Tampa ordinance imposes relocation payments separate from court-awarded damages.
