South Florida landlord requires new tenants and those renewing their leases to be vaccinated

Santiago Alvarez told CNN he has no plan to change his rule despite threats from Gov. Ron DeSantis to fine businesses that require proof of vaccination. Alvarez said he made the decision a month ago after seeing too many of his tenants die from Covid-19. Black, Hispanic people miss out on Covid-19 testing and vaccinations"I think my decision was right, and I will defend it any way I can. If I get fined, I will go to court with it," he told CNN.

The governor announced this week he will fine county and city governments requiring employees to get vaccinated against Covid-19, threatening a $5,000 fine per violation. Alvarez said he has about 80 to 100 tenants in Broward and Miami-Dade counties with lease renewals coming up soon. He said he is willing to be flexible with tenants who don't want to provide proof of vaccination, but also don't have anywhere to go.

Sorry. I misunderstood the news. The Landlord is demanding Proof of Vaccination. Does he have the authority to do so?! Personally I support Vaccination but not a forced one because it is your body. I support Vaccination after proper education, persuasion to the doubters.

I’m very much pro-vaccine. With that being said, I feel this is absolute overreach in requiring and applicant or tenant to have a vaccine. This needs action and complaint needs to be pursued by an landlord tenant board or whatever entity immediately.

Forced vaccination

Excuse now to kick people out. Great way to let landlords abuse power

Great idea !

This is illegal.

😱, I'm betting this plays into getting that back rent.

This is total bullshit.

G O O D.

So now they’re okay with people becoming homeless if they won’t submit…

China was right! Milley and Nancy Pelosi are likely responsible for deploying Covid. Ahh power!

This is ridiculous, EVERYONE knows the shot doesn’t stop transmission of covid. Ppl need to stand together and say no. If you can’t see whats going on now , you might be mentally challenged

Bravo!

I feel like this has nothing to do with the shot and everything to do with the slumlord evicting people

DragonOfAesha this seem like an excuse to evict niggas to you?

Crazy world we're living in... 🤦🏾‍♂️

kurtbardella Shared ventilation, elevators, entranceways= COVID

What is this news saying no vaccine no lease? This world must be going nuts

That's discrimination

Hmm, wonder why this is even a consideration.

Good! it’s time to end this Covid shit

To live in Fear is so sad. Will he ask for Hep B, aids , TB, .......

It’s a free country. Do what you want. Could be illegal. Probably. Communist News Network

Damn where are all the “squatters rights” yuppie/commies at on this? I saw so many in Canada bitching about rent…
