Florida rental/lease question?

We are coming to the end of a three year lease (and also a 'one year' before that). Never any problems with rent or anything. I believe the landlord may either be planning to raise the rent or possibly not renew to move his son's family in. Does he have to give us any sort of written notice prior to the end of the lease of what his intentions are, and how long? We have asked but he said he is unsure atm...four months to go. Florida rental/lease question?
Florida law: He does not need to give you advanced warning of his intention on renewing or terminating unless such provision is outlined in your lease. He does need to give you a 15 day notice to vacate once your lease is up.

Florida rental/lease question?
The lease may indicate what notice if any he should give. If you are required to give certain notice then I think you should demand the same notice period from him. In any case, it sounds like your spidey-sense is tingling - i'd start looking for another place to live.
What does your lease state regarding notice to terminate?





Florida landlord/tenant laws require a 60 day notice to terminate a fixed term lease.
E. If the landlord plans to not renew a lease, he/she must notify you in writing.





1. A 1-year lease requires 60-day notice





2. A 3-month lease requires 30-day notice.
