Florida’s safety and compliance landscape is changing—and every onsite team member needs to understand how these laws affect daily operations. This webinar breaks down Miya’s Law, the required processes when a resident passes away, and Florida’s open carry policy in clear, practical terms. Participants will learn what actions are needed, what documentation matters, and how to protect their team and community through consistent, compliant procedures.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • What Miya’s Law requires and how it impacts key control, vendor access, and maintenance procedures
  • Step-by-step best practices for handling the death of a resident, including documentation and legal notices
  • How Florida’s open carry policy affects your property and what leasing and maintenance teams can (and cannot) do
  • How to communicate policy expectations to residents, vendors, and team members
  • Risk management strategies that reduce liability and improve community safety
  • What to document and how to protect your property with clear, consistent procedures
