Today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced, beginning Monday, the state would move into a “full Phase One,” and short-term rentals can reopen if counties submit a plan for opening safely. DeSantis added, “If your plan says you’re going to accept guests from New York City, I’m probably not going to accept that.”
Throughout Florida’s shutdown, DeSantis has kept timeshares, resorts, hotels, motels, and inns open. He gave his reason for that today saying that he needed to have places to “put up” national guard if needed.
DeSantis’ message to counties: “For the vacation rentals, what we’re doing is telling counties, if you want short-term rentals—if you want them to be open—you submit your plan and you can show how they are going to be safe.”
Bars and movie theaters also remain closed, but like vacation rentals, amusement parks can submit plans to the state show they plan to reopen safely.
In addition, DeSantis further opened restaurants and retail, effective Monday to 50 percent.
Enjoy being a one term Governor, you POS. You forgot who voted you into office and we won’t forget your betrayals. By the way, are hotels and resorts also not allowing people from NYC to visit or are you just imposing this on STRs? Won’t matter…the lawsuits will soon humiliate you and overrule your stupidity anyways; this was just a weak attempt to hold those off. IMPEACH DESANTIS
Waiting on whether or not my short term rental will be a go!
Scheduled for July 2nd on Sanibel. I am from NY State, not part of the tri-state – NY is a big state. Are only certain areas of NY excluded from being able to vacation. Otherwise I will have to take my business elsewhere. Thank you.
