Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.055
Right of mobile home owner to invite public officers, candidates for public office, or representatives of a tenant organization.
Operative Text
No provision contained in any bylaw, rental agreement, regulation, or rule pertaining to a mobile home park shall infringe upon the right of a mobile home owner to invite public officers, candidates who have qualified for public office, or officers or representatives of a tenant organization to appear and speak upon matters of public interest in the common areas or recreational areas of the mobile home park at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner in an open public meeting. The mobile home park owner, however, may enforce rules and regulations relating to the time, place, and scheduling of such speakers, which rules and regulations will protect the interests of the majority of the home owners.
Florida Statute § 723.055 establishes that no rule, bylaw, rental agreement, or park regulation may block a mobile home owner from inviting public officers, qualified candidates for public office, or representatives of a tenant organization to speak on matters of public interest in the park's common or recreational areas. These gatherings must occur at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner during open public meetings. While this right is protected, the park owner retains authority to set rules governing the time, place, and scheduling of such speakers, provided those rules reflect the interests of the majority of homeowners.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.055, compliant mobile home park operators generally avoid adopting or enforcing any bylaw, rental agreement clause, or park rule that categorically prohibits or effectively prevents homeowners from hosting qualifying speakers in common or recreational areas. Operators may, however, maintain and enforce reasonable time, place, and scheduling rules for such events, so long as those rules are designed to serve the interests of the homeowner majority rather than to suppress protected speech. Documenting how scheduling policies were developed with homeowner interests in mind is a practice consistent with the statute's intent.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Fla. Stat. § 723.055 gives mobile home owners the right to invite public officers, qualified candidates, or tenant organization representatives to speak in the park's common or recreational areas on matters of public interest, and no park rule or rental agreement provision can lawfully strip away that right. If a park attempts to enforce a rule that effectively blocks such an invitation, a homeowner may raise that restriction as a violation of this statute. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Florida mobile home park law, as well as the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation's resources, can help homeowners understand general enforcement paths available under this provision.
