Florida HB 837 Compliance Resources for Multifamily Property & Apartment Owners

Florida House Bill 837 (HB 837) was signed into law in March 2023, offering strong liability shield for apartment and multifamily property owners who achieve compliance with specific crime prevention measures as defined by new statutes. These measures include ensuring the presence of physical security conditions defined in F.S. 768.0706(2)(a), having a documented CPTED assessment conducted by a law enforcement agency or a Florida Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Practitioner (FCP), and training employees in crime deterrence and safety measures beginning on January 1, 2025.

The following resources are provided to assist property owners in assessing the benefits of HB 837 and establishing an informed plan for achieving compliance.
