Key Florida rental rules every owner should know
Florida residential rentals are governed by the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act — Part II of Chapter 83, Florida Statutes. Here is a quick overview of rules we follow on every property.
Security deposits
Deposits must be held as the statute allows, and tenants must receive written notice of how the deposit is held within 30 days of receipt. After move-out, the deposit is returned within 15 days, or a written notice of claim is sent by certified mail within 30 days. (§83.49)
Nonpayment notices
If rent is unpaid, a written 3-day notice to pay or vacate is required before filing for eviction. Weekends and legal holidays are excluded from the 3 days. (§83.56)
Lease violations
For other lease noncompliance, Florida law generally requires a 7-day written notice — with or without an opportunity to cure, depending on the violation. (§83.56)
Month-to-month tenancies
Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice before the end of a monthly period. (§83.57)
Entry to the property
Landlords must give at least 24 hours' notice to enter for repairs, at a reasonable time (7:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.), except in emergencies. (§83.53)
Maintenance duties
Landlords must comply with building, housing, and health codes and, for most dwellings, maintain structural components and plumbing in reasonable working condition. (§83.51)
This is a general summary for educational purposes, not legal advice. Laws change — consult a Florida attorney about your specific situation.
Owning a rental in Florida is different
- Hurricane season (June 1 – Nov 30). Pre-season check-ins, resident storm-prep notices, and post-storm inspections.
- HOA & condo associations. Many communities require lease approval or have minimum lease terms — we handle the paperwork.
- Heat & humidity. A/C servicing and moisture checks help prevent costly mold and system failures.
- Insurance. We'll coordinate with your landlord policy and require residents to carry renter's insurance where permitted.
Why licensing matters in Florida
In Florida, managing or leasing real property for others in exchange for compensation generally requires a real estate license under Chapter 475, Florida Statutes. eBurst does not list, lease or manage property for other owners for a fee. Under our Guaranteed Rent Program, eBurst leases the home directly from the owner and rents it for its own account.
