In Florida, your ESA housing rights rest first on state law. Florida Statute 760.27 requires housing providers to allow an emotional support animal as a reasonable accommodation and bars them from charging extra for it, with a narrow exception only where a specific animal poses a direct threat to safety or property. 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.
Landlords in Winter Springs who refuse a valid ESA letter or continue charging pet fees may be in violation of Florida Statute 760.27 and federal law. Complaints can be filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations.
