Under Fla. Stat. § 83.53, a Florida landlord must give at least 24 hours' notice to enter for repairs and may enter only at reasonable times, defined as between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. No notice is required in an emergency or to preserve the premises, and access may not be used to harass the tenant.
Fla. Stat. § 83.53 lets a landlord enter to inspect, make repairs, supply agreed services, or show the unit to prospective buyers or tenants. For repairs, the statute requires 'notice given at least 24 hours prior to the entry' and entry only 'between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.' A landlord may also enter with consent, in an emergency, when the tenant unreasonably withholds consent, or when the tenant is absent for a period equal to half the rent-payment cycle. The landlord 'may enter the dwelling unit at any time for the protection or preservation of the premises.' Tenants may not unreasonably deny access, and landlords may not use access to harass the tenant.
No specific statutory penalty. A tenant subjected to unlawful or harassing entry may seek injunctive relief and damages; a landlord unreasonably denied lawful access may likewise pursue remedies, including termination under § 83.56 for noncompliance.
