FL S1550

Persons injured by violations of mobile home park owner or mobile home owner obligations may file complaints with the Department of Legal Affairs, which is granted enforcement authority and rulemaking power across multiple sections of the law

Park owners are prohibited from requiring electronic-only billing/payment systems, charging fees for refusal to use such systems, requiring waiver of legal rights through payment platforms, or collecting personal data beyond what is necessary for payment, applicable retroactively to all lot rental agreements existing on July 1, 2026

Courts determining whether a rent increase is unreasonable may now consider additional factors including the number of active sales in the park, incentives offered to new purchasers, and the number of abandoned or transferred mobile homes in the prior 12 months

The eviction nonpayment cure period is extended from 5 days to 10 days, and family members, friends, organizations, or charities are authorized to pay lot rental amounts by check or electronic transfer on behalf of a mobile home owner, with park owners required to accept such payments

Relocation payments from the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation for park closures are increased from $3,000 to $6,500 for single-section mobile homes and from $6,000 to $11,500 for multisection homes, with abandonment compensation rising from $1,375 to $5,000 and from $2,750 to $7,000 respectively
