Instead, Broward County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The rent control rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Broward County does not have rent control - Florida Statute 125.0103 preempts local rent regulation except in declared housing emergencies, which Broward has not invoked despite affordability challenges.
Broward County does not impose rent control on residential rentals. Florida Statute 125.0103 expressly preempts local rent control ordinances statewide except during a declared housing emergency meeting strict statutory criteria, including unanimous findings that rent controls are necessary to eliminate an existing housing emergency so grave it constitutes a serious menace to the general public. In November 2022, Orange County voters approved a one-year rent cap but it was blocked by courts, demonstrating the legal obstacles. Broward County has not declared a housing emergency, so landlords may set and raise rents without local caps. Florida Statute 83.57 requires only 15 days' written notice for month-to-month rent increases and 60 days for annual lease renewals.
