Florida permits no-fault evictions at the end of a lease term or with proper notice for month-to-month tenancies. Miami-Dade has not enacted just-cause eviction protections, and Florida §125.0103 limits county authority to constrain landlord termination rights.
Under Florida §83.57, a month-to-month tenancy can be terminated by either party with fifteen days' written notice before the end of the rental period; HB 1417 (2023) preserved this window and preempted local extensions. Fixed-term leases simply expire; the landlord need not state a reason to decline renewal. Miami-Dade County passed a thirty-day notice for non-renewal of leases above $2,000/month and for low-income tenants in 2022, but Florida HB 1417 narrowed local authority. The current county notice rules survive only where they target disclosure timing, not the landlord's right to terminate.
Improper notice timing or self-help lockouts violate §83.67 and expose landlords to actual damages plus three months' rent, whichever is greater.
