Florida Sex Offender Rental Notification Act: Under Florida law, owners of rental apartments and homes are NOT required to warn you or your family that an employee at the property is a pedophile or sex offender. Children in Florida have been raped by sex offenders who were literally provided the keys to rental units, where the owner knew that the employee was a convicted sex offender.  You and your family have the right to make an informed choice of whether to live in housing that employs convicted sex offenders.
