I personally do not know but have a sisiter in Florida that owns a real estate company. E-mailed her just now, will find out Federal law as well as Florida law prohibits discrimination based on race or country origin. However, the law also REQUIRES that US citizens report illegal aliens to the authorities.There is no law prohibiting renting to an illegal, there IS a law stating that you have to report renting to an illegal alien. Hope this helps.
