State law limits local voucher protections

Florida law preempts regulation of residential tenancies and the landlord-tenant relationship to the state (Fla. Stat. § 83.425). Do not rely on an older local voucher-protection notice without checking its current status. Preemption alone does not decide whether an individual refusal is lawful; other protections or property-specific obligations may matter. Seek case-specific legal advice about a refusal or notice.

General information, not legal advice. For help with a specific case, use HUD’s fair-housing resources.
