Florida’s New Flood Disclosure Law: What Renters and Landlords Need to Know

We’re proud to share that our legal insights were recently featured on CBS Miami News at 6PM and across CBS Miami Digital, which reaches nearly 1.94 million unique visitors each month. This coverage highlights the importance of clear guidance for Florida tenants and landlords navigating the state’s newly enacted flood disclosure law.

What’s Changing for Landlords and Tenants

Under the new law, landlords must disclose a property’s flooding history to tenants before signing a lease. This rule is designed to give renters the information they need to make informed housing choices and avoid unexpected risks.

For tenants, it means greater peace of mind. For landlords, it creates a chance to build trust and avoid disputes by being upfront about a property’s history.

Why This Law Matters

As we explained in the CBS Miami coverage, the new disclosure requirement adds an important layer of accountability. Landlords who fail to comply could face legal and financial consequences, while tenants who understand their rights will be better prepared to protect themselves.

At GLMC Legal, we’re here to help both landlords and tenants understand these changes and what they mean in practice.
