What is Miya’s Law?
Miya’s Law is proposed bi-partisan legislation in the State of Florida (HB577/SB898) that endeavors to ensure an elevated expectancy of residential security and personal safety on residential properties in the State of Florida. In this light, stricter governance such as the implementation of higher levels of background checks and limitations on the use of master keys will ensure the protection of all tenants and aid in strengthening the relationships between landlords and tenants.
The enforcement of Miya’s Law will increase the safety and protection of our most vulnerable population, including students, children, single mothers, senior citizens, tenant victims, and over 2.8 million Florida residents residing in single- or multi-unit residential properties. Residential security and personal safety are undoubtedly among the very first lines of defense in the protection of tenants residing in residential communities, and a solid baseline must be established and upheld to safeguard tenants. Safety and security are fundamental human rights (rights to life) and should be regarded as such.
Miya’s Law will help ensure the protection and well-being of our most vulnerable population – further reassuring tenant safety and security within residential communities. Because of Miya’s Law, lives will be saved.
