Verified against official Florida landlord-tenant statutes. Last reviewed May 2026. How we verify our legal data.
A Florida lease agreement is governed by the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Florida places no statutory limit on the security deposit amount. A landlord who intends to make no claim on the deposit must return it within 15 days of the tenant leaving; a landlord who plans to keep part of it must send written notice within 30 days.
Florida requires at least 24 hours' notice before entering for repairs, and since 2023 a month-to-month tenancy needs 30 days' written notice to end. Local rent control is preempted by state law. A written agreement that records the deposit handling and notice terms keeps a Florida tenancy on solid footing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a written lease agreement in Florida?
While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Florida law strongly favors written lease agreements. A written lease protects both landlord and tenant by clearly documenting terms, responsibilities, and required disclosures under the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Florida requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead-based paint (pre-1978, federal) and Landlord name and address (Fla. Stat. § 83.50), which must be in writing.
What are Florida's security deposit rules?
In Florida, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 15 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.
How much does a Florida lease agreement cost?
Each lease agreement costs $7.99. Choose your document type, fill in your details through our guided form, and download your completed, Florida-compliant PDF instantly. Re-download available for 5 days.
Can Florida cities or counties enact rent control?
Florida effectively prohibits local rent control. While a 2022 ballot measure in Orange County approved rent control, the Florida legislature passed a law in 2023 preempting local rent control ordinances statewide. Florida landlords may raise rent to any amount with proper notice (typically 15 days for month-to-month tenancies). The state does not cap security deposits, and landlords must return deposits within 15 - 60 days depending on whether there are deductions.
