A Florida landlord must provide this much notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
7 days
A 7-day notice is incorrect as it doesn't comply with Florida's statutory requirements. This shorter notice period might apply in other contexts, such as non-payment of rent, but not for terminating a month-to-month tenancy without cause.
15 days
30 days
A 30-day notice is the standard requirement in many other states for month-to-month tenancies, but it exceeds Florida's specific 15-day requirement. This is a common point of confusion for students familiar with laws in other jurisdictions.
60 days
A 60-day notice is not required by Florida law for month-to-month tenancies. This longer notice period might apply in other circumstances or states with stronger tenant protection laws, but it's not applicable in this Florida-specific context.
Why is this correct?
Florida Statute 83.57 specifically requires landlords to provide 15 days written notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. This notice period balances the rights of both landlords and tenants, providing sufficient time for tenants to find alternative housing while allowing landlords to regain possession of their property.
