The bill establishes a new requirement for landlords in Florida regarding flood zone disclosures for rental properties. It mandates that landlords or their authorized representatives must provide written notice to prospective tenants about whether a dwelling unit is located within a flood zone as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) before the start of a tenancy. Additionally, if the dwelling unit is indeed in a flood zone, the disclosure must include the specific risk designation and its definition as determined by FEMA.

Furthermore, the bill requires landlords to inform current tenants in writing or via email if there is a change in the flood zone designation of their dwelling unit. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and ensure that tenants are aware of potential flood risks associated with their rental properties. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
