Florida notice of entry laws Landlords must give ?reasonable? notice before entering the property and enter at a ?reasonable? time. As of 2022, Florida code §83.53(2) defines reasonable as at least 24 hours notice. Only in the case of an emergency can a landlord enter without providing notice.

Before a Landlord can enter, they must give the Tenant reasonable notice. Florida Statute 83.53(2) defines reasonable notice as 12 hours prior to entering. This must occur between a.m. to p.m. However, a Tenant cannot unreasonably deny the Landlord from entering. If they do, they are in violation.

LANDLORDS CANNOT JUST THROW YOU OUT. Florida law prohibits landlords from evicting tenants without going through the court system (self-help evictions). Your landlord can't evict you without a judge's order. And if the sheriff shows up to evict you, he also must have a court order.

Tenants cannot be legally ordered to vacate their residential units unless they have been properly notified of the beginning of the eviction process. State law provides for 3 types of notices: 3-day notice, 7-day notice with a chance to 'cure,' and an 'unconditional quit' 7-day notice.

If the dwelling is a single-family home or duplex: The landlord must maintain compliance with applicable building, housing, and health codes under Florida law. The residence must be kept in reasonable condition if regulations are unavailable.
