Florida Lease Extension Addendum

This Lease Extension Addendum is built with Florida as the governing state. These are the Florida landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Rent, late fees & returned checks

Unless the lease says otherwise, rent is due at the start of each rental period and is payable without demand (§83.46). Florida has no statutory grace period — the lease controls.

  • Late fees — There is no statutory cap, but Florida courts treat late fees as liquidated damages: the fee must be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s actual loss and must be written into the lease, or it risks being struck as an unenforceable penalty. There is no fixed legal number.
  • Returned-check fee — A bounced-check fee is capped by §68.065 at $25 (checks ≤ $50), $30 (≤ $300), $40 (over $300), or 5% of the check — whichever is greater.
  • Rent control — Florida prohibits local rent control statewide (§§166.043, 125.0103); the 2023 Live Local Act removed the last narrow exception, so no city or county can cap rent.

Florida Lease Extension Addendum FAQs

How much notice is required to end a month-to-month lease in Florida?

Thirty days’ written notice before the end of the monthly period, from either side — increased from 15 days effective July 1, 2023. Week-to-week needs 7 days; year-to-year needs 60 days (§83.57).

Does Florida have rent control?

No. State law bars counties and cities from adopting rent control, and the 2023 Live Local Act removed the last narrow exception — no Florida locality can legally cap rent (§§166.043, 125.0103).
