Florida rent increase rules

15 days rent-increase notice.

Florida has no rent control. For a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must give at least 15 days' written notice before the end of the period to raise rent or end the tenancy.

What this means for you: There is no cap on how much rent can rise at renewal. Local rent control is heavily restricted by state law.

Your next step: Verify you received at least 15 days' notice for a month-to-month change. During a fixed lease, rent is locked until renewal.
