What § 768.0706 says

The statute provides a presumption against liability for certain third-party criminal acts when a qualifying multifamily owner or principal operator substantially implements the specified measures. Its definition includes parcels with at least five dwelling units. It is not blanket immunity. Read § 768.0706 in full.

The conditions cover security measures, an assessment performed by a law enforcement agency or a Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute-designated Florida CPTED Practitioner, substantial compliance with the assessment, and employee training. The text specifies an assessment no more than three years old and contains January 1, 2025 deadlines. An assessment alone does not satisfy all conditions. The owner or operator bears the burden of establishing entitlement to the presumption. See the statute’s conditions and burden of proof.

Document the scope and handoff

• Verify assessor eligibility before accepting a statutory engagement.
• Record inspection dates, locations, limitations, and evidence.
• Distinguish a recommendation from a completed improvement.
• Identify who will track implementation, training, and reassessment.
• Have the owner’s counsel evaluate legal applicability and any claimed presumption.
