Rent control rules in Orlando, FL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Orlando has no rent control ordinance. Florida preempts all local rent control under Fla. Stat. Sec. 125.0103, and the 2023 Live Local Act (SB 102) eliminated the housing-emergency exception. Orange County's 2022 attempt to enact a rent control ordinance was rejected by voters and later mooted by state preemption; courts also threw out the underlying authority. HB 1417 (Fla. Stat. Sec. 166.0444) further preempted local tenant-protection ordinances. Orlando cannot adopt rent stabilization, rent caps, or any local limit on rent increases.
