Rent control rules in Plant City, FL — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Plant City has no rent control. Florida Statute §125.0103(2) flatly preempts local rent regulation — no emergency exception remains. Landlords may raise rent freely at lease renewal with proper notice. Tenant protections come from FL Chapter 83.
FL §125.0103(2) prohibits counties and municipalities from imposing any measure that controls rents; the 2023 Live Local Act (SB 102) deleted the old housing-emergency exception, so the ban has no carve-outs. Plant City cannot cap rent increases. Landlord-tenant relations are governed by FL Chapter 83 (Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act). Notice required for rent increases: 15 days for month-to-month tenancies, otherwise at lease term expiration. Security deposits are limited in handling but not in amount under §83.49.
N/A - no rent control to violate. Landlords who fail to provide required notice of rent increase may have the increase delayed until proper notice is given under FL §83.57.
