Non-compliance is unaffordable.

FL HB 837 fundamentally changed how courts assign liability for third-party criminal acts on multi-family properties. Compliant properties earn presumption against liability. The rest face full exposure.

01

Shorter statute of limitations

Personal injury claims now must be filed within 2 years — down from 4. Evidence is preserved more readily, and cases resolve faster. Compliance gives you the documentation to defend immediately.

02

Modified comparative negligence

Plaintiffs who share significant responsibility receive reduced or no compensation. Compliance demonstrates proactive safety culture, shifting the narrative in any negligent security case.

03

Presumption against liability

Properties that substantially implement CPTED recommendations AND complete employee training gain a legal presumption against liability for third-party criminal acts. Partial compliance does not qualify.

04

Burden of proof on you

The property owner must demonstrate compliance — not the plaintiff. Without documented training records, CPTED assessments, and implementation logs, you cannot claim the presumption.

Five steps.
Full coverage.

NGA Security Advisors handles the physical assessment. Ecierge Train handles the employee training. Together: complete compliance.

01

CPTED property assessment

A certified Florida CPTED Practitioner (FCP) from NGA inspects your property to identify areas not compliant with FL §768.0706(2). Required every 3 years.

02

Substantial implementation

Implement and document improvements per CPTED findings — lighting, cameras, access control, locks, and signage. Partial implementation does not qualify.
