About the Florida Lease Extension Agreement
Florida Statute Chapter 83, Part II governs residential lease relations. No statutory form is required for a lease extension – any signed writing by both parties is sufficient. Florida has no statewide rent-control statute; landlords may freely set rent for the extension. However, for month-to-month tenancies (which the lease may lapse into if no extension is executed), Florida Statute 83.57 requires 15 days notice of termination.

- Month-to-month termination notice: 15 days (Florida Stat. 83.57)

- Form: signed writing by both parties is sufficient – no statutory form required
What This Document Does
- Identifies both parties and the original lease being extended

Notice Requirements and Best Practices
Florida does not require statutory notice to negotiate a lease extension. Best practice is to communicate intentions 30-60 days before the original lease end date. Without an executed extension or renewal, the lease will expire on its end date; if the tenant remains in possession with landlord acceptance, Florida law may treat the tenancy as month-to-month, requiring 15 days notice to terminate under Florida Statute 83.57.
Re-screen your renewing tenants
Before renewing, many landlords run a fresh tenant screening to check for changes in credit, eviction filings, or criminal background. Tenant Screening Background Check has been verifying renters since 2004 — credit, eviction, criminal, and employment, all with no monthly fees.
