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The 30-day figure is a 2023 change (ch. 2023-314); older sources still citing 15 days are out of date.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from imposing controls on rents (F.S. 166.043(2), 125.0103) — the former grave-housing-emergency exception was repealed by the 2023 Live Local Act (ch. 2023-17).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

| Statewide rent control / stabilization | No |
| Rent control details | Not addressed by statute |
