Florida §83.67 prohibits landlord retaliation, lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removal of tenant property. Miami-Dade has no separate tenant-anti-harassment ordinance, but the county human rights ordinance Ch. 11A protects against discriminatory housing harassment.
Section 83.67 of the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act forbids landlords from terminating utilities, changing locks, removing doors or windows, or removing tenant possessions without a court order. Section 83.64 forbids retaliation against tenants who complain to code enforcement, join tenant organizations, or assert legal rights. Miami-Dade Chapter 11A, the county human rights ordinance, separately prohibits harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, family status, source of income, sexual orientation, gender identity, and pregnancy. Damages under §83.67 include actual damages or three months' rent, whichever is greater, plus attorney's fees.
Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or retaliatory eviction filings expose landlords to actual damages or three months' rent, whichever is greater, plus fees.
