In Florida, your ESA housing rights rest first on state law. Florida Statute 760.27 makes it unlawful for a housing provider to discriminate against a person with a disability or disability-related need for an emotional support animal. This state protection is enforced by the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) and remains fully active. The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) provides the same obligation, and that statute has not changed.
