Florida is firmly a no-rent-control state. There are no statewide caps on how much a landlord can increase rent or how frequently increases can occur. However, landlords must comply with notice requirements that vary depending on the type of tenancy.
Official Law Citation: Notice requirements for terminating an existing lease to propose new rent terms are covered under Florida Statutes Section 83.57.
No Rent Control Florida
Statutes § 125.0103 expressly preempts local governments from enacting rent control ordinances, except in cases of a declared housing emergency. This preemption was strengthened in 2024, invalidating local ordinances that conflicted with Chapter 83.
While legislative proposals to cap annual rent increases were considered in 2024, none passed into law.
Notice Requirements by Tenancy Type
For month-to-month tenancies, the landlord must give 30 days' written notice before the next rental period begins. This was increased from 15 days in 2024.
For fixed-term leases, the rent amount is locked in for the duration of the lease. The landlord cannot increase rent until the lease term expires and a new agreement is negotiated.
Local Ordinances
While Florida preempts rent control, some local jurisdictions have enacted notice requirements:
Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade County requires landlords to provide 60 days' written notice for rent increases exceeding 5%. This is more restrictive than the statewide minimum.
Other Jurisdictions
Landlords should check local ordinances, though the 2024 preemption law invalidated many local tenant protection rules that conflicted with Chapter 83.
No Restrictions on Amount
There is no limit on the dollar amount or percentage a landlord can increase rent. The only protections are:
- Proper notice must be given.
- Rent increases cannot be retaliatory - a landlord cannot increase rent in response to a tenant exercising a legal right (such as filing a complaint about habitability).
- Rent increases cannot be discriminatory under the Fair Housing Act.
