A Florida month-to-month rental agreement is a legal arrangement between a landlord and a tenant, allowing the tenant to occupy the rented property on a monthly basis without a fixed lease term.
Unlike a traditional lease with a set duration, this agreement automatically renews each month until either party provides proper notice to terminate. It typically outlines key terms such as rent amount, due date, responsibilities of both parties, and the procedure for giving notice to end the tenancy.
Legal Requirements for Month-to-Month Leases
- Minimum Termination Period: In Florida, the lease termination notice from either party is 30 days. [1]
- Rent Increase: State law does not regulate rent increases, but it is best practice for landlords to provide 30 days’ notice.

Florida Month-to-Month Eviction
Landlords must provide appropriate notice for tenants to vacate, with the length of notice depending on the rental term, and cannot end the agreement out of retaliation for tenant actions.
