"Fla. Stat. 83.56(3)","Nonpayment of rent","A three day notice to pay or vacate. The three days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.","3 days","Florida prescribes a statutory form for this notice. County courts routinely void notices that omit the weekend and holiday language, so the wording matters as much as the timing."
"Fla. Stat. 83.56(2)(a)","Curable lease violation","A seven day notice to cure, giving the tenant seven days to correct the violation.","7 days","Used where the breach is something the tenant can fix."
"Fla. Stat. 83.56(2)(b)","Non curable violation","Where the breach is intentional damage, continued unreasonable disturbance, or a repeat of the same violation within twelve months, the landlord may terminate without a cure opportunity.","no cure period",
"Fla. Stat. 83.57","Week to week tenancy","Seven days written notice to terminate.","7 days",
"Fla. Stat. 83.57","Month to month tenancy","Thirty days written notice to terminate.","30 days","Raised from fifteen days by House Bill 1417, effective 1 July 2023. Any source still saying fifteen days predates the change."
"Fla. Stat. 83.57","Quarter to quarter tenancy","Thirty days written notice to terminate.","30 days",
"Fla. Stat. 83.57","Year to year tenancy","Sixty days written notice to terminate.","60 days",
"Fla. Stat. 83.57","Rent increases","Florida has no separate rent increase notice statute. A rent change on a periodic tenancy rides on the same notice that ends or alters the tenancy, so a month to month increase needs at least thirty days written notice before the end of the monthly period.","30 days for month to month","Legally an increase is the end of the old tenancy and an offer of new terms. A tenant who objects can decline to renew but cannot be forced to stay at the new rate."
"fixed term","During a fixed term lease","Rent generally cannot be raised mid term unless the written lease contains an explicit escalation clause. An increase happens at renewal only.","no mid term increase",
"no cap","Rent amount","Florida sets no cap on how much rent may be charged or increased.","no limit","What the statute governs is notice, not amount."
preemption,"The Miami-Dade 60 day rule","Miami-Dade County had enacted a sixty day notice requirement for month to month tenancies. The statewide thirty day rule under section 83.57 now controls.","30 days statewide","Worth knowing because local guidance may still describe the sixty day figure. Homzora records this as reported by a published 2026 practitioner source and has not examined the preemption question directly."
"court process","Tenant response window","Five business days after service of the summons to respond.","5 business days","A tenant contesting a nonpayment case must generally also deposit the disputed rent into the court registry."
"court process","Writ of possession","Typically served within 24 to 48 hours of judgment, with a 24 hour final notice before removal.","24 to 48 hours","Timings depend on the county rather than the statute."
"SB 716","A change that did not happen","A 2026 bill would have extended the nonpayment notice from three days to five business days and voided lease provisions imposing fees during that window. It died in committee on 13 March 2026.","not law","The three day notice under 83.56 still applies. Included because guidance written in early 2026 may have anticipated the change."
