Rent control rules in Miami-Dade County, FL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Florida Statute §166.043(2) preempts local rent control statewide. Miami-Dade County cannot impose rent control or rent stabilization — the 2023 Live Local Act deleted the old housing-emergency exception, so no exception remains.
Florida Statute §166.043(2) prohibits counties and municipalities from imposing rent control or rent stabilization, and the 2023 Live Local Act (SB 102) deleted the former housing-emergency exception — the prohibition is now absolute. Miami-Dade County has no rent control and cannot adopt it. The county's high housing costs are addressed through other mechanisms including the Live Local Act's workforce-housing incentives, the county's Affordable Housing Trust Fund, and tax incentives for affordable housing development. Private lease agreements govern rent amounts and increases between landlords and tenants.
No rent control violations exist as the practice is preempted. Landlord-tenant disputes over rent increases are governed by the terms of the lease and Florida landlord-tenant law (FL Chapter 83).
