The Florida fifteen (15) day notice to vacate is given to a tenant by a landlord that intends on cancelling the rental arrangement. The tenant, after receiving the notice, will be instructed that they must move-out by the date written in the notice or a forcible entry and unlawful detainer case will be filed against them.
15 days is a relatively short period of time in comparison to other States with most requiring at least thirty (30) days’ notice. Therefore, if the landlord has a good relationship with the tenant or it isn’t urgent for them to move-out of the property it is recommended to grant at least one (1) month.
