In Florida, your ESA housing rights rest first on state law. Florida Statute 760.27 requires housing providers to accommodate an emotional support animal and bars any extra charge for that animal. This state protection is enforced by the Florida Commission on Human Relations and remains fully active. The federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604) provides the same obligation, and that statute has not changed.
