- State: Florida
Answer:
In Florida, a landlord must give a tenant a three-day notice if they fail to pay rent. This notice excludes Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. It informs the tenant that they owe rent and demands either payment or possession of the property within three days from the notice's delivery date.
The notice must include specific information, such as the amount owed, the address of the rental property, and the landlord's contact details. If the tenant does not pay within this timeframe, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement (Fla. Stat. § 83.56).
Written notices can be delivered by mail or in person. If the tenant is not present, leaving a copy at the residence is acceptable. These notice requirements cannot be waived in the lease.
