Florida Lease Renewal Offer

Propose a new term and rent for an existing Florida tenancy. Until both sides sign, the current lease and Florida notice rules still control.

If rent is paid monthly, either party generally may end a month-to-month tenancy with 15 days’ written notice before the end of the monthly period (Fla. Stat. § 83.57).
A signed renewal is what changes the term. This paper is the offer.
Do not use a renewal to skip deposit or habitability statutes.

Deposit rule of thumb

Florida does not cap the size of a residential security deposit. If the landlord makes no claim, the unused deposit is generally due within 15 days after the tenant vacates. If the landlord is keeping some or all of it, written notice of the claim is generally due within 30 days. The lease or a notice should say how and where the deposit is held.

Fla. Stat. § 83.49

The landlord may enter at reasonable times to inspect, repair, or show the unit. Twelve hours’ notice is presumed reasonable. Emergency entry does not require notice (Fla. Stat. § 83.53).

If rent is paid monthly, either party generally may end a month-to-month tenancy with 15 days’ written notice before the end of the monthly period (Fla. Stat. § 83.57).
