Rental housing has been a major concern in many cities across the states of Florida and Texas following hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
Both storms flooded tens of thousands of homes.
In Florida, advocates worry that rebuilding efforts after Irma are forcing out mobile home park residents who rent coveted land in the Florida Keys.
Florida has no blanket policy governing how late rental payments or evictions should be handled after storms, according to the Florida Apartment Association. The FAA represents owners, developers and property managers for about 600,000 units.
An association representative didn't know of any landlords refusing to allow renters to break leases, but that doesn't address renters who want their apartments repaired, according to a report by ABC News.
Half of the up to 15,000 residential homes damaged or destroyed in the Keys were mobile homes.
Texas renters have complained of difficulties getting out of leases on damaged properties, short timelines for evictions, and trouble finding affordable rentals.
