When asked by reporters if his plan would make it to the floor for a Senate vote, Diaz was non-committal. In exchange, regulation would be “preempted” to the state, largely preventing local governments from regulating vacation rentals. Florida law already bans local governments from passing ordinances to outlaw vacation rentals. Vacation rentals have sparked backlash from some homeowners, who complain about raucous parties, parking issues and a steady stream of strangers in neighborhoods. For us to be micromanaging vacation rentals, I am not sure that is the right thing to do,” DeSantis said.
