In Florida, independent living communities aren’t licensed or regulated. This is because independent living communities don’t provide personal care assistance for tasks like bathing and dressing. However, more than half of our partner independent living communities in Florida share a campus with another type of senior living. These shared campuses may combine independent living and assisted living, or they may include independent living, assisted living, and memory care. In these cases, the assisted living or memory care part of the community would be licensed and regulated by the Florida Bureau of Health Facility Regulation’s assisted living unit.
Seniors interested in renting an independent living apartment will sign a lease with the community. It’s similar to the type of contract you might sign when leasing an apartment.

While age is usually a factor in housing discrimination, independent living communities can cater to older adults through an exemption in the Fair Housing Act. To meet the exemption requirements, the community should only house seniors over 62, or have someone over 55 in 80% of apartments.
