Notice Terminate Tenant

If you need to terminate your month to month lease, you must give 15 days notice prior to the end of any month. If you give less than 15 days, the notice will not be valid. As a result, the lease will not be terminated. If you are a Landlord and give 15 days or more notice and they refuse to leave, you can evict them.

If there is no written lease, in most cases, you can evict a tenant or they can leave the property at any time. No proper notice must be given, though most try to give a few days. But you'll want to check with your local county to be sure there are no local restrictions.

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.

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).

In most cases, you give the landlord/agent a written termination notice and vacate ('give vacant posession') move out and return the keys according to your notice. You can vacate before the date in your termination notice but keep paying rent until the end of the notice period.

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.

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).

It is equally easy for tenants in Florida to get out of a month-to-month rental agreement. You must provide the same amount of notice (15 days) as the landlord. Be sure to check your rental agreement which may require that your notice to end the tenancy be given on the first of the month or on another specific date.
