How Much Can a Landlord Raise the Rent in Florida?

Hachey notes that states with highly competitive housing markets, such as New York, have rent control ordinances. Floridians should communicate with their landlords directly if they wish to negotiate a cheaper monthly rent even though they are not protected by rent control ordinances. Tenants can choose to avoid more expensive areas in Florida, which include property in close proximity to conveniences such as schools, shopping and jobs.
