Thank you for contacting the District 52 office. The current state law prohibits the state from regulating rental rates.  There may be some new laws proposed during the 2023 Legislative Session that could address this issue, however the legislature will not meet again until Feb/March 2023.  A handful of municipalities and County Commissions have been proposing laws to increase the notice time required.  Realty and landlord issues are under the authority of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.  At their website there is the ability to file a complaint about the rental company/landlord if you believe that they are breaking any laws.  We will keep a look out for any upcoming bills that may be brought to the legislature about this issue, however we won't see any of them until after new representatives take their place after the November elections.

(Unfair lease increases)

193 EDEN AVENUE , SATELLITE BEACH, FLORIDA 32937.
 (321)522-6522. rmctick@gmail.com

In mid May of 2022 we received an email from our home owner to increase the lease effective 07/01/2022.
$2400.00 per month or $28,800.00 per year.

The present lease is :
$1,850.00 per or $22,200.00
per year.

A wapping increase of $550.00 per month or $6600.00 per year .

How can you help ?

We have no recourse but to pay or move . The owner wouldn't negotiate.
We either pay up or move.

Actually the offer was $2400.00 per month or purchase the house for $480,000.00.

We have heard of these increases through out Brevard County.

Please reply how you can help.

Sincerely Republican Voter

Our home owner is increasing our lease by a unheard of amount.
Current lease is $1850.00
Pet month or $22200.00
Pet year.
Planned increase is 
$2400 pet month or $28800 per year. A wapping increase of $550.00 pet month equaling a $6600.00Increase for the up and coming year starting July 1, 2022. The owner has only given us 2 months to decide and we have no choice at the present time to fight this large increase or price gouging. 
Can you help ?
From what we are hereing this gouging is being do across the board in Florida . There should be a Law against such things like this . 
Thank You for your time and service the ower state .
Your Sincerely , 
Ronald R. McClintick
