FL S0612

Creates Florida Tenant Notification Act requiring landlords to disclose in rental agreements whether employees have undergone level 1 background screenings and names/job descriptions of employees convicted of credit card theft, crimes involving violence, or sexual battery.

Allows landlords to require current and potential employees with access to rental premises to undergo level 1 background screenings at landlord expense, with refusal grounds for termination or disqualification.

Requires tenants to sign a witnessed acknowledgement of receipt of the disclosure; rental agreement is incomplete without this signature and must be maintained in tenant's file.

Permits tenants to terminate rental agreements within 3 business days and receive full deposit refunds without penalty if employees with disqualifying convictions were disclosed.

Voids rental agreements if they fail to disclose employee convictions or if landlord hires a disqualifying employee within 5 business days of agreement completion, allowing tenant termination and full deposit refund, though tenants remain liable for any physical damage they caused.
