Miami Renter Context
Florida prohibits rent control statewide, so unlike NYC or LA, Miami has no rent stabilization. The most important factors for Miami renters are building safety (especially flood risk and structural integrity), hurricane preparedness, and the condition of older condo buildings following the 2021 Surfside collapse tragedy. We weight these factors heavily in our Miami scoring.
