Tampa permits no-fault non-renewal of leases consistent with Florida Statute §83.57, requiring only statutory written notice; no local just-cause eviction overlay exists because §125.0103 preempts that kind of ordinance.
Florida is a strong landlord-friendly state, and §83.57 lets either party end a tenancy without cause once the lease term expires, with notice tied to the rent period: 15 days for month-to-month and 7 days for week-to-week. Tampa has not created a just-cause overlay because Florida §125.0103 and the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act collectively preempt local controls beyond procedural support. Landlords still must follow the proper Ch. 83 notice and, if the tenant remains, file a county court eviction action; self-help lockouts and utility shutoffs remain illegal under §83.67 with steep statutory damages.
Self-help eviction tactics like changing locks or shutting off power expose landlords to actual damages plus three months' rent under Florida §83.67.
