Overview

Roommate Agreements in Florida

Florida roommate agreements fall under the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Fla. Stat. Chapter 83). Under Florida law, roommates must provide **at least 15 days' written notice** to terminate a month-to-month roommate arrangement (Fla. Stat. § 83.57). Roommates are jointly liable to the landlord for any lease breaches, regardless of internal agreements.

Questions & Answers

Florida Roommate Agreement — Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the security deposit if only one roommate moves out in Florida?

The landlord is not obligated to return any part of the deposit until the entire tenancy ends. The roommate agreement should outline how the remaining roommates will buy out the departing roommate's deposit share.
