How much notice does a landlord have to give a tenant to move out in Florida?
Short answer
Ending a tenancy with no fixed term: 30 days' notice before the end of a monthly period (60 days year-to-year, 7 days week-to-week)
Notice: At least 30 days before the lease ends (30 days for month-to-month tenancy; 30 days for quarter-to-quarter tenancy; 60 days for year-to-year tenancy; 7 days for week-to-week tenancy)
To end a tenancy without a specific term, give written notice before the end of a rental period: at least 30 days for month-to-month and quarter-to-quarter, 60 days for year-to-year, and 7 days for week-to-week tenancies.
"When the tenancy is from month to month, by giving not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period" flsenate.gov
"When the tenancy is from year to year, by giving not less than 60 days' notice prior to the end of any annual period;" flsenate.gov
"When the tenancy is from week to week, by giving not less than 7 days' notice prior to the end of any weekly period." flsenate.gov
Before evicting: 3-day notice to pay rent (weekends and holidays excluded) or 7-day notice for other lease violations Verified
Deadline: 3 days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays) to pay rent; 7 days to cure other violations
For unpaid rent, deliver a written 3-day demand for rent or possession (excluding Saturday, Sunday and court-observed holidays) before terminating. For other curable violations, give a 7-day notice to cure; for serious or repeat violations, a 7-day notice to vacate. The statute sets the wording, and the notice requirements cannot be waived in the lease.
"If the tenant fails to pay rent when due and the default continues for 3 days, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays, after delivery of written demand by the landlord for payment of the rent or possession of the premises, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement." flsenate.gov
"if the noncompliance is not corrected within 7 days from the date that the written notice is delivered, the landlord shall terminate the rental agreement by reason thereof." flsenate.gov
"The notice requirements of subsections (1)-(3) may not be waived in the rental agreement." flsenate.gov
Notes: Fla. Stat. 83.56(2)-(4) (2026).
