Florida has no rent control and no statute that sets a maximum rent increase or a dedicated advance-notice period for raising rent. On a month-to-month tenancy, a new rent takes effect only through the termination/change notice in Fla. Stat. § 83.57, which 2023's SB 102 (ch. 2023-314) lengthened from 15 to 30 days.
Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act does not regulate rent amounts and imposes no cap on increases, and SB 102 (2023) preempts any local rent control. There is no separate 'rent-increase-notice' statute. During a fixed-term lease, rent cannot change unless the lease allows it. For a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord changes terms by serving the § 83.57 notice ending the tenancy; the statute now requires 'not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period,' raised from 15 days by ch. 2023-314. A tenant who rejects the new rent may give matching notice and move out. Week-to-week tenancies require 7 days' notice.
No specific statutory penalty. A landlord who fails to give proper § 83.57 notice cannot enforce the higher rent until valid notice expires; the prior rent remains the lawful amount in the interim.
