No New Yorkers allowed! Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announces plans to ease ban on vacation rentals across the state - but visitors from the Big Apple won't be able to book

Florida is set to begin easing its ban on vacation rentals in the coming days but state Governor Ron DeSantis says lot owners can only start taking bookings again under a special condition: no New Yorkers allowed.

Since March 27, hotels across Florida have been allowed to operate without restrictions, but rental properties across the sunshine state have been forced to keep their doors locked to stop the spread of COVID-19.

The controversial decision sparked fierce pushbacks from property owners, management companies and some local officials, especially in the panhandle.

But on Friday, DeSantis provided a much welcomed update, announcing that vacation rentals could be able to roll out the welcome mats once more as early as Monday, pending final approval from county and state officials.

      All New Yorkers are not from New York City, where most of the contamination is.

    New Yorkers should be made to wear a special symbol on their clothing to show everyone they come from a Virus hotspot! Not trying to make a joke here, this is serious, they bring germs with them and can kill my grandma living in Ft. Myers.

    Does this mean we can draw a cable across the bridge and DE lines?

    1142, you can not be serious. I am literally shaking my head. Next you will suggest it be a star. Please know your history before you type. I am not being snippy, but come on.

    Yes, straw rentals will be rampant. As much as I like DeSantis, I just do not like this idea.
