Section 83.53(1), F.S. The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter the dwelling unit from time to time in order to inspect the premises. Section 83.53(2), F.S. ■ The landlord may enter the dwelling unit at any time for the protection or preservation of the premises.
If you need to terminate your month-to-month lease, you must give 30 days' notice prior to the end of any month. If you give less than 30 days, the notice will not be valid. As a result, the lease will not be terminated.
What Happens If You Don't Give 30-days' Notice To Vacate? If you do not provide your tenant with adequate notice, you will not have the legal grounds to end the tenancy. Likewise, if a tenant does not give you enough notice they could be subject to penalties (such as the landlord withholding their security deposit).
For month-to-month tenancies, the landlord or tenant must deliver a notice at least 30 days before the next time the rent is due informing the other party that the lease will be terminated. Any time period shorter is ineffective.
The landlord must provide such written notice to the tenant within 15 days before the start of the notification period contained in the lease. The written notice shall list all fees, penalties, and other charges applicable to the tenant under this subsection.
Tenants cannot be legally ordered to vacate their residential units unless they have been properly notified of the beginning of the eviction process. State law provides for 3 types of notices: 3-day notice, 7-day notice with a chance to 'cure,' and an 'unconditional quit' 7-day notice.
IF THE LANDLORD FAILS TO TIMELY MAIL YOU NOTICE, THE LANDLORD MUST RETURN THE DEPOSIT BUT MAY LATER FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES. IF YOU FAIL TO TIMELY OBJECT TO A CLAIM, THE LANDLORD MAY COLLECT FROM THE DEPOSIT, BUT YOU MAY LATER FILE A LAWSUIT CLAIMING A REFUND.
