How much notice is required to raise the rent in Florida?
Florida has no statute setting a dedicated notice period for rent increases; the effective floor for a month-to-month tenancy is the termination-notice rule in F.S. 83.57(3) — not less than 30 days before the end of any monthly period — because a tenant who rejects the new rent is on notice the tenancy can end on that same timeline.

The 30-day figure is a 2023 change (ch. 2023-314); older sources still citing 15 days are out of date. Florida has no statewide rent control, and state law flatly prohibits counties and municipalities from imposing controls on rents (F.S. 166.043(2), 125.0103) — the former grave-housing-emergency exception was repealed by the 2023 Live Local Act (ch. 2023-17).
Florida rent increase notice at a glance
| Notice — month-to-month | No rent-increase statute — notice derives from tenancy-termination rules (see summary) |
|---|---|
| Varies by increase size | Not addressed by statute |
| Fixed-term leases | Rent cannot be changed during a fixed term unless the lease itself provides for it; increases take effect at renewal. For fixed-term leases that require a non-renewal notice, F.S. 83.575 requires the notice period to be between 30 and 60 days for either party. |
| Statewide rent control / stabilization | No |
| Rent control details | Not addressed by statute |
| Local rent regulation | Florida law flatly bars cities and counties from adopting or keeping any measure that controls rents — the former pathway allowing one-year, referendum-approved rent control during a declared housing emergency was repealed in 2023 — though local governments may still use land-use tools like inclusionary housing ordinances to expand affordable housing. |
| Frequency limits | Not addressed by statute |

Notes and caveats
- The 30-day figure is borrowed, not a rent-increase statute — there is no dedicated rent-increase-notice statute; the requirement derives from the termination statute (F.S. 83.57(3), 30 days for month-to-month). The blank notice field reflects that derivation, not a zero-notice rule.
- County notice ordinances are dead letters — the 2023 preemption of local residential-tenancy ordinances (HB 1417) invalidated county rent-increase-notice ordinances (e.g., Miami-Dade, Broward) that briefly exceeded state minimums; state law now controls.
