Yes, in Florida, a landlord can terminate a month-to-month lease without cause. However, they must provide the tenant with at least 15 days' written notice before the end of the rental period. This allows the tenant time to vacate the property. It's important to ensure that the notice is delivered properly, either by mail or in person. *Legal statutes mentioned reflect the law at the time the content was written and may no longer be current.
