Just cause eviction rules in Boynton Beach, FL — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Boynton Beach follows Florida state law for evictions under FL Statute Chapter 83 (Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act). No local just-cause eviction ordinance exists in the city.
Landlords in Boynton Beach must follow FL §83.56 for termination notices: 3-day notice for nonpayment, 7-day notice to cure lease violations, and 15-day notice for no-cause termination of month-to-month tenancies. Florida is a strong property-rights state and does not require just cause to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. HB 1417 (2023) preempted local rental regulations statewide, preventing cities from adding tenant protections beyond state law. Evictions must be filed in Palm Beach County Court.
Illegal self-help evictions (lockouts, utility shutoffs) can result in landlord liability for 3 months rent plus damages under FL §83.67.
