Fl Nonresidential

Pursuant to Florida Statute 83.575, the rental agreement may not require more than 60 days' notice from either the tenant or landlord regarding non-renewal.

If you wish to leave early but don't want to pay the standard fee, you can try talking it out with your landlord. In this case, you need to be honest about your reason for leaving early (if the reason doesn't fall in the Florida Landlord-Tenant Law). He/she might understand.

In most situations your landlord does not need to give you a reason (although acting on discriminatory or retaliatory motives is illegal). A landlord can simply give you a written notice to move, allowing you 15 days as required by Florida law and specifying the date on which your tenancy will end.

When a tenant remains in possession of the rental after the agreement term expires they are considered a holdover tenant . Legally, they become a month-to-month tenant and all provisions of the original agreement remain in effect, including the requirement to provide 30 days written notice of their intent to vacate.

Florida law also gives the residential tenant rights in defending against any lawsuit filed by the landlord. The tenant, for instance, has five days (where the landlord asks for possession or asks to evict the tenant) to twenty days (where the landlord asks for rent damages) to file an answer to the complaint.

In Florida, landlords only have to give tenants 15 days' notice to terminate the lease. Ending a month-to-month lease in Florida is a lot simpler than ending a year-long leaselandlords and tenants can terminate their agreement at any time, as long as they give a minimum of 15 days' written notice.

Additionally, Florida Statute 83.575(1) states that if the lease requires notification from the tenant to the landlord as to vacating, there must be an equal requirement by the landlord to notify the tenant if the rental is not to be renewed.

Fifteen days' notice is required to end a month-to-month lease. Both landlords and tenants can terminate a month-to-month lease at any time, as long as they inform the other person in writing at least 15 days before the next rent payment is due.

When the tenancy is month-to-month, the tenant must give the landlord 15 days' notice before the end of any monthly period. (In Miami, the tenant must give the landlord 30 days' notice before the end of the monthly period).
