Fla. Admin. Code R. 64E-14 § 64E-14.011
Heating
Operative Text
(1) All private living quarters, and bathrooms of migrant labor camps and residential migrant housing shall be equipped with heat producing devices to maintain a room temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. (2) Heating appliances, other than electrical, shall be provided with a flue pipe or vent connected to the appliance and discharging to the outside air. Cooking facilities shall not be considered heating equipment. (3) Automatically operated heat producing equipment shall be provided with controls to cut off the fuel supply upon the failure or interruption of flame or ignition or whenever a predetermined safe temperature or pressure is exceeded. All steam and hot water systems shall be provided with safety devices designed to prevent hazardous pressures and excessive temperatures.
Florida Administrative Code Rule 64E-14.011 establishes minimum heating standards for migrant labor camps and residential migrant housing. All private living quarters and bathrooms in these facilities must be equipped with heating devices capable of maintaining at least 68°F. Non-electric heating appliances must vent combustion gases to the outside, cooking equipment cannot substitute for dedicated heating equipment, and automatic heating systems must include safety controls that shut off fuel or prevent dangerous pressure and temperature conditions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of migrant labor camps and residential migrant housing subject to Rule 64E-14.011 generally ensure that every private living space and bathroom contains a properly functioning heating device rated to maintain 68°F. Compliant operators install flue pipes or vents on all non-electric heating appliances that discharge to the outside, and they do not rely on cooking facilities to meet the heating requirement. Automatic heating equipment is typically outfitted with fuel cut-off controls and, where steam or hot water systems are used, with safety devices that guard against hazardous pressures and excessive temperatures.

Residents of migrant labor camps and residential migrant housing are entitled under Rule 64E-14.011 to adequate heat—at least 68°F—in their living quarters and bathrooms, provided through properly vented, code-compliant heating equipment. If heating is absent, inadequate, or supplied through unsafe or unvented appliances, tenants may consider reporting the condition to the Florida Department of Health, which oversees migrant housing standards under Chapter 64E-14. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with agricultural worker housing can help residents understand available complaint processes and other general enforcement paths.
