The bill introduces a new section, 83.505, to the Florida Statutes, which authorizes landlords to electronically deliver notices to tenants under specific conditions. For electronic delivery to be valid, tenants must sign an addendum to their rental agreement consenting to this method and provide a valid email address. Notices sent via email are considered delivered at the time of sending unless the landlord receives a notification of non-delivery. Additionally, landlords are required to maintain records of the notices sent electronically and can still use other legal means to deliver notices.

The bill also amends several existing sections of the Florida Statutes to align with the new electronic notice provisions. Key changes include allowing notices related to security deposits and rental agreements to be delivered via email, as well as clarifying the landlord's obligations regarding notice delivery and tenant communication. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
