Just cause eviction rules in Kissimmee, FL — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, Chapter 83 Part II, exclusively defines lawful eviction grounds and procedures statewide, preempting cities from adding just-cause requirements that restrict when a landlord may terminate a tenancy.
FS 83.40 through 83.683 establish a uniform process: landlords may terminate a month-to-month tenancy with 30 days written notice for any reason, terminate for nonpayment with a 3-day notice, or terminate for noncompliance with a 7-day cure or unconditional notice. FS 83.42 limits the chapter's reach but no provision authorizes local just-cause overlays. Florida courts have consistently held that the Act occupies the field of landlord-tenant relations, so city ordinances requiring landlords to prove cause before non-renewal or eviction are unenforceable.
Improper notices result in case dismissal; tenants ousted without statutory process may recover three months rent plus damages under FS 83.67.
