Florida proposes pool safety laws for short-term rentals after 49 child drownings since 2021.
Florida state Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith is introducing legislation to require pool safety measures like fences, alarms, and self-latching gates in short-term rental homes after a Scripps News investigation found at least 49 children drowned in such properties since 2021.
The bill targets high-risk vacation rentals, especially those frequented by out-of-state families unaware of pool dangers, following the 2022 drowning of 2-year-old Laylani Carpio, whose family blames a defective fence and latch.
While Airbnb denies liability, citing no duty to inspect, the case has intensified calls for stronger safety regulations in rental properties.
