Rep. Vance Aloupis

Tenants who have been evicted could have those court records sealed and their names removed from docket listings if they meet certain conditions under a bill under consideration in the Florida House.

HB 1193 by Rep. Vance Aloupis, D-Miami, passed the House Civil Justice and Property Rights Subcommittee on March 18. Aloupis said the bill stemmed from his experience as a law student working for Legal Services of Greater Miami doing intake on its homeless project and more recently as a board member of Miami Homes for All.
