Operative Text

Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.021
Every rental agreement or duty within this chapter imposes an obligation of good faith and fair dealings in its performance or enforcement. Either party to a dispute under this chapter may seek an order finding the other party has not complied with the obligations of good faith and fair dealings. Upon such a finding, the court shall award reasonable costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party for proving the noncompliance.

Plain English

Florida Statute § 723.021 establishes that every rental agreement and every duty covered by Chapter 723 carries an inherent obligation of good faith and fair dealing in how it is carried out or enforced. Either party — a mobile home park owner or a resident — may ask a court to find that the other side has violated this obligation. If a court makes that finding, it is required to award reasonable costs and attorney's fees to the party who successfully proved the noncompliance.

For Property Managers

Under Fla. Stat. § 723.021, park owners and managers are generally expected to perform and enforce rental agreements and Chapter 723 duties honestly and in a commercially reasonable manner. Operators who document their decision-making processes, communicate transparently with residents, and apply rules consistently tend to reflect the kind of conduct this provision contemplates. Because a court finding of noncompliance triggers a mandatory award of the other party's costs and attorney's fees, maintaining clear records of good-faith conduct is a practical operational priority.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Fla. Stat. § 723.021 gives mobile home park residents a statutory basis to challenge conduct by a park owner that falls short of good faith and fair dealing in the performance or enforcement of a rental agreement or Chapter 723 duty. A resident who believes this obligation has been violated may seek a court order declaring the noncompliance, and a successful showing entitles that resident to an award of reasonable costs and attorney's fees. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Chapter 723 can help residents understand whether a particular situation may implicate this provision and what general options exist.
