Notice To Terminate a Month-to-Month Lease in Florida
The 15-day establishment for a month-to-month tenancy in Florida tenant/ landlord law works both ways. You need to also give the owner no less than 15 days’ notice if you need to discontinue a month-to-month tenancy. Nevertheless, your lease contract might contain an extra provision for precisely when you ought to give this 15-day notice, therefore, go over it carefully to be certain.
An exemption to this law occurs if you don’t have a written lease contract or if your tenancy is open-ended, meaning it doesn’t indicate an end date. In this situation, Florida renters don’t have to issue any notice at all prior to vacating the premises.
Different Rules for Special Circumstances
Although Florida property owners don’t require a reason to give the notice to terminate the month-to-month lease, the situation varies if a landlord’s motive isn’t legal. This can be the scenario if she/he is retaliating because you complained about dangerous living conditions, or his/her motive might be biased. Perhaps you’re about to have a child and the property owner doesn’t want kids on his/her property.
Speak to a lawyer if you have cause to suspect that your property-owner’s reason for terminating your lease might be unlawful.
Month-to-Month Lease Termination Notice When You’ve Dishonored Your Lease Terms
You might only receive a seven days’ notice, and this reduces to only three days if you are behind on rent payment, though you do have a right to “cure” the issue by paying any outstanding rent in full when you are served with notice. You can just correct the situation, but your lease will be terminated if you break your lease agreement again.

As a Tenant, How Do I Go About Changing Rent or Other Terms in The Month-to-Month Lease in Florida?

On the other hand, the Tenant has no obligation to accept the terms and may choose to vacate. However, they cannot dispute the terms, as it is within a Landlord’s right to make these changes.
