Florida Eviction Notice
Florida Eviction Notice Requirements
Florida requires 3 days' notice for nonpayment of rent before a landlord can file an eviction case.
Eviction notice periods in Florida
Florida gives tenants 3 business days to pay overdue rent or vacate — one of the shortest pay-or-quit periods, and the count excludes weekends and legal holidays.
For a lease violation other than nonpayment, tenants generally get 7 days to fix the issue or move out, depending on whether the violation can be cured.
Florida's eviction notices must be worded carefully — using the wrong notice type for the situation is a common reason cases get dismissed.
Reference: Florida Statutes §83.56. This is general educational information, not legal advice — many cities have their own additional rules. Confirm current Florida and local requirements before serving notice.
