Just cause eviction rules in Sunrise, FL — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Sunrise has no just-cause eviction ordinance. Evictions follow Florida Statutes Chapter 83: a 3-day notice for unpaid rent, a 7-day notice to cure a lease violation, and a 30-day notice to end a month-to-month tenancy with no reason required.
Florida governs residential evictions statewide, and the 2023 Live Local Act (Fla. Stat. §83.425) preempts local tenancy regulation, so Sunrise cannot require a landlord to show "good cause." Under Fla. Stat. §83.56 a landlord serves a 3-day notice (excluding weekends and legal holidays) for nonpayment and a 7-day notice for a curable lease violation. For month-to-month tenancies, Fla. Stat. §83.57 requires 30 days' written notice to terminate — raised from 15 days by HB 1417, effective July 1, 2023 — and no reason is required. Only a Broward County court can order an eviction; self-help lockouts and utility shutoffs are illegal under Fla. Stat. §83.67.
Illegal self-help evictions — lockouts, utility shutoffs, or removing belongings — make a landlord liable for actual damages or three months' rent, whichever is greater, plus attorney's fees, under Fla. Stat. §83.67. Evictions are filed in Broward County Court.
