    Default Criminal Record Discrimination

    Does anybody know if there is anything I can do about being descriminated for my past crimal record? I was told I can not rent an apartment because of my record. I need help. Does anybody have any advise? Can anybody help me with case law or a web site that might help me?

    In what state did the conviction(s) occur? In what state are you seeking housing?

    Default Florida Housing Discrimination

    I am not aware of any law in Florida which prevents housing discrimination based upon a criminal record. (That's not to say that no such law exists; just that I couldn't find it.) You can review Florida's statutes yourse]f here.

    Florida appears to have rather limited options for expungement; unfortunately I can't find a good online guide at the moment. You may wish to discuss the possibility of having your record expunged or sealed with a local criminal defense lawyer.
