Florida Notice to End a Month-to-Month Tenancy Template

What a Florida notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must include under Florida law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.

What Florida law requires

Written notice by either party given not less than 30 days before the end of a monthly rental period (7 days for week-to-week, 30 days for quarter-to-quarter, 60 days for year-to-year), delivered the same ways as other notices: mail, hand delivery, e-mail per § 83.505, or leaving a copy at the residence if the tenant is absent. No required wording. For fixed-term leases, a lease may require 30-60 days' end-of-term notice only if it binds the landlord to the same notice.

Source: Fla. Stat. §§ 83.57, 83.575, 83.56(4)

30-day month-to-month period set by ch. 2023-314 (formerly 15 days).

Fill-in draft

Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
