Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Laws governing rent increases for private RV parks

We are in a Private RV park in Fort Lauderdale Florida, this year we had a 28.5% increase in rent. Is the proprietor allowed to ask for such an increase? If no what are our recourses to contest such a raise? Thanking you in advance,

Re: Laws governing rent increases for private RV parks

First, I would suggest you have an attorney review your lease agreement and any other documents you signed or that you received at the time you moved into the park. I would also like to know if this is an RV only park and if you have any mobile homes in the park that may be covered under Chapter 723.

Unfortunately, there is no statutory protection for RV only parks and you would be limited to the law of contracts in answering your question.

Very truly yours,

Read your lease agreement. There should be a provision regarding increases.
