Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.051
(1) An invitee of a mobile home owner, or a live-in health care aide as provided for in the federal Fair Housing Act, must have ingress and egress to and from the mobile home owner’s site without the mobile home owner, live-in health care aide, or invitee being required to pay additional rent, a fee, or any charge whatsoever, except that the mobile home owner must pay the cost of a background check for the live-in health care aide if one is required. Any mobile home park rule or regulation providing for fees or charges contrary to the terms of this section is void. The live-in health care aide does not have any rights of tenancy in the mobile home park, and the mobile home owner must notify the park owner or park manager of the name of the live-in health care aide and provide the information required to have the background check, if one is necessary. The mobile home owner has the responsibility to remove the live-in health care aide should it become necessary and to cover the costs associated with such removal. (2) All guests, family members, or invitees are required to abide by properly promulgated rules and regulations. (3) For the purposes of this section, an “invitee” is defined as a person whose stay at the request of a mobile home owner does not exceed 15 consecutive days or 30 total days per year, unless such person has the permission of the park owner or unless permitted by a properly promulgated rule or regulation. The spouse of a mobile home owner shall not be considered an invitee.

Plain English

Florida Statute § 723.051 governs the access rights of guests and live-in health care aides at mobile home parks. Under this provision, invitees and live-in health care aides recognized under the federal Fair Housing Act may freely enter and exit a mobile home owner's site without any additional rent, fee, or charge being imposed—though the mobile home owner bears the cost of any required background check for a live-in aide. Park rules that attempt to impose such fees are declared void. An 'invitee' is defined as someone staying at the mobile home owner's request for no more than 15 consecutive days or 30 total days per year, unless the park owner grants permission for a longer stay.

For Property Managers

Under Fla. Stat. § 723.051, mobile home park operators may not charge additional rent or fees for invitees or live-in health care aides accessing a resident's site. Compliant park management ensures that any rules or regulations on the books do not include fee provisions that conflict with this statute, as such provisions are automatically void. Operators may still require background checks for live-in health care aides, but the cost of those checks falls on the mobile home owner, not the park. Park managers are entitled to receive the name and background-check information for any live-in health care aide from the mobile home owner.

For Tenants

Fla. Stat. § 723.051 protects mobile home owners from being charged extra rent or fees simply because a guest or live-in health care aide needs access to their site. If a park attempts to impose such charges or enforces a rule that conflicts with this statute, that rule is legally void and may be raised as a defense or the basis of a complaint. Mobile home owners who rely on a live-in health care aide under the federal Fair Housing Act should be aware of their obligation to notify park management and cover any background check costs, while also knowing they cannot be penalized with additional fees for the aide's presence. Tenants facing disputes over guest or aide access rights may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Florida mobile home park law.
