Background Screening Rules and Regulations in Florida: A Guide for Employers and Landlords
This report provides Florida-specific guidance for employers and landlords on conducting background checks in a compliant, lawful manner. It outlines state laws and procedures in Florida (with emphasis on employment screening) and highlights key federal regulations (like the Fair Credit Reporting Act) that also apply. The goal is to explain what records can be checked, how to use them legally, consent and notice requirements, and special rules for certain situations – all in plain language for non-experts.
