Just cause eviction rules in Plant City, FL — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Plant City follows Florida landlord-tenant law with no local just-cause eviction ordinance. FL Chapter 83, Part II governs residential evictions and preempts most local tenant protections.
Plant City has not adopted a just-cause eviction ordinance. Florida Statute Chapter 83 (Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act) provides the exclusive framework for evictions. Landlords may terminate month-to-month tenancies with 30 days written notice (increased from 15 days by 2023 legislation). Nonpayment requires a 3-day notice per FL 83.56. HB 1417 (2023) expanded state preemption of local residential tenancy regulation, blocking cities from requiring just-cause. Hillsborough County also has no local just-cause rule. Tenants facing eviction can access Bay Area Legal Services in Tampa for assistance.
Improper eviction procedure can result in tenant counterclaims under FL 83.67 for prohibited practices, with damages up to 3 months rent plus attorney fees.
