This paper is not a pay-or-quit, not a court filing, and not a lockout.

What is a notice to vacate in Florida?
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 notice to vacate ends a tenancy on a stated date. It is not a pay-or-quit for unpaid rent and not a court filing.
Notice to vacate vs eviction notice
Use a notice to vacate when you are ending the tenancy on schedule — for example, a month-to-month non-renewal. Use an eviction notice when rent is unpaid or a violation must be cured before you can file in court.
How should I deliver the notice?
Follow the lease and state service rules. Keep a copy, note the date and method (hand delivery, certified mail, or posting if allowed), and who received it.
