Overview
Month-to-Month Rental Agreements in Florida
Florida month-to-month leases are governed by Part II of Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes (Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act).
Under Florida law, either party may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by providing **at least 15 days' written notice** prior to the end of the monthly period (Fla. Stat. § 83.57). This is one of the shortest notice requirements in the country.
