Florida Rent Increase Notice

A Florida landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what Florida’s says.

Florida rules at a glance

Florida rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase30 days. Florida has no rent-increase notice statute; the 30-day month-to-month termination notice is the practical floor for changing terms.Fla. Stat. §83.57(3)
Rent capFlorida prohibits local rent control statewide; the 2023 Live Local Act removed the last narrow exception, so no city or county can cap rent.Fla. Stat. §§166.043, 125.0103

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 Rent Increase Notice FAQs

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).
