Rent control rules in Kissimmee, FL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Florida F.S. §125.0103 prohibits all forms of local rent control unless a housing emergency is declared and the city authorizes a temporary control by referendum. Kissimmee has no rent control and cannot implement it without a declared emergency vote.
F.S. §125.0103(1) is a near-absolute prohibition on local rent control. Subsection (4) provides a narrow emergency exception requiring: (a) declared housing emergency, (b) findings of severe shortage of low-cost rental housing, (c) controls necessary to eliminate the emergency, (d) controls approved by referendum vote. The 2022-23 Orange County rent control attempt failed at the ballot — no Florida jurisdiction currently has active rent control. As a result, Kissimmee rents are governed entirely by the free market and state landlord-tenant law (F.S. Ch. 83). Long-term rentals in HOA-governed communities may have lease-term minimums via deed restrictions, but these are HOA contract matters, not city ordinance.
No city rent control ordinance to violate. Rent gouging during declared emergencies may be addressed via F.S. §501.160 price-gouging statute.
