Description

CBS Miami May 4, 2022 As rents continue to increase across Broward, the county's commission has approved a measure that offers some protections to renters. Under a new law approved Tuesday, landlords have to give renters no less than 60 days notice prior to termination of leases for those facing rent increases of more than 5%. The sixty days notice applies to all renters, with or without a signed annual lease, and a rental increase of more than 5%. The commission adopted the measure, sponsored by commissioners Nan Rick and Torey Alston, after hearing from many people who said they were forced to leave their rented homes because of expensive rent increases with short notice.
