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The 30-day figure is a 2023 change (ch. 2023-314); older sources still citing 15 days are out of date.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from imposing controls on rents (F.S. 166.043(2), 125.0103) — the former grave-housing-emergency exception was repealed by the 2023 Live Local Act (ch. 2023-17).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 | No statute in Part II of Chapter 83 lets a landlord change the rent during a fixed term; the terms of the rental agreement govern, and a renewal counts as a new rental agreement (F.S. 83.49(6)). 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rents — the former pathway allowing one-year, referendum-approved rent control during a declared housing emergency was repealed in 2023 — though local governments may still use land-use tools like inclusionary housing ordinances to expand affordable housing.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.
- Local rent-increase-notice ordinances no longer apply — Since July 1, 2023, F.S. 83.425 (ch. 2023-314, HB 1417) has superseded local government regulations on notice requirements and the other matters covered by Part II of Chapter 83, so county and city rent-increase-notice ordinances no longer govern and state law controls. Some are still printed in local codes: Miami-Dade County Code § 17-03(b) and Orange County Code § 25-371(b) state a 60-day notice for increases of more than five percent, as do Hillsborough County Code § 16-109, which the county's code notes it does not enforce because of F.S. 83.425, and City of Tampa Code § 12-147. Broward County repealed its landlord-tenant article effective July 1, 2023.

How this record was verified: Direct read of 2025 Florida Statutes text on the official legislature site (leg.state.fl.us / Online Sunshine): F.S. 83.49 (full text), 83.53 (full text), 83.57 (full text), 166.043 (full text). Web verification of surrounding context (83.46, 83.505, 125.0103, 2023 ch. 2023-17 and ch. 2023-314 amendments) against official-source cross-references and multiple concurring secondary sources. October 1, 2026: every section the security deposit, rent increase, late fee, entry and eviction answers rest on was read again in the 2026 Florida Statutes on the Legislature's own sites (leg.state.fl.us and flsenate.gov), an edition that takes in the 2026 regular session and its special sessions: sections 83.43, 83.46, 83.49, 83.491, 83.505, 83.53, 83.56, 83.57, 83.575, 83.59, 83.60, 83.62, 83.67, 83.425, 125.0103, 166.043, 51.011, 723.002 and 817.537. Chapter 2026-143 (in force October 1, 2026) is the only 2026 law that amends one of them and is stated on the eviction page. The court rule on counting days (Fla. R. Gen. Prac. & Jud. Admin. 2.514) was read as in force on July 1, 2026, and the damages test for late fees in the Florida Supreme Court's decision in Lefemine v. Baron.
