Florida has added a new requirement to every apartment operator’s compliance checklist. Prompted by the 2021 murder of 19-year-old Miya Marcano—who was killed in her Orlando apartment by a maintenance worker who used a spare key fob to enter—“Miya’s Law” now mandates stricter security protocols for multifamily properties. As of July 1, the law requires staff to give at least 24 hours’ written notice before entering any unit and for landlords to keep detailed entry logs for every apartment.
