The bill amends several sections of the Florida Statutes related to self-storage spaces, specifically focusing on the definitions and notice requirements for owners of self-storage units. It revises the definition of "last known address" to include the address provided by the tenant in their latest rental agreement or any subsequent written change-of-address notice. Additionally, the bill updates the notice requirements for owners seeking to enforce a lien on a tenant's property and for those wishing to sell such property. Owners are now required to notify both the tenant and any designated alternate contact regarding lien enforcement and property sales.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that rental agreements entered into on or after September 1, 2025, must include a provision allowing tenants to designate an alternate contact for receiving notices. It clarifies that a tenant's failure to designate an alternate contact does not affect their rights or the owner's rights under the law. The bill also allows owners to send notices to tenants' last known addresses to inform them of their right to designate an alternate contact. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
