For a month-to-month tenancy, Fla. Stat. § 83.57 now requires at least 30 days' written notice (raised from 15 days by 2023's SB 102). Breaking a fixed-term lease triggers landlord remedies under § 83.595, including a pre-agreed early-termination fee capped at two months' rent. Servicemembers may terminate early under § 83.682.
Under § 83.57, ending a tenancy without a specific term requires written notice 'in the manner provided in s. 83.56(4)': 30 days for month-to-month (amended by ch. 2023-314, SB 102, from 15 days), 7 days for week-to-week, 30 days for quarter-to-quarter, and 60 days for year-to-year. A tenant who breaks a fixed-term lease faces § 83.595 remedies; if the lease has a signed early-termination addendum, the landlord may instead collect liquidated damages or a fee 'not to exceed 2 months' rent.' A servicemember may terminate with 30 days' written notice plus orders for qualifying events such as a PCS move 35+ miles away, premature discharge, or temporary duty over 60 days (§ 83.682); this right cannot be waived.
No specific statutory penalty. A tenant who breaks a lease without a valid statutory basis remains liable under § 83.595 for rent as it comes due or the difference after the landlord relets in good faith, unless a signed early-termination fee (max two months' rent) applies.
