Florida H1423 would deny liability presumption to owners of multifamily properties with multiple serious crimes reported.

Florida H1423 amends the Florida Statutes to modify the presumption against liability for owners and principal operators of multifamily residential properties. Specifically, it prohibits such owners or operators from receiving a presumption against liability if two or more specified crimes, including murder, robbery, sexual battery, aggravated assault, battery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or a crime involving a firearm, were reported at the property within the 24 months preceding the subject incident.
