How much notice you need to end a tenancy with no set end date depends on how often rent is paid. For a month-to-month tenancy, Florida requires not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period.[1] Count back at least 30 days from the last day of the monthly period you want the tenancy to end.
When the tenancy is from month to month, by giving not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period
The same section sets a notice period for each kind of periodic tenancy.
| Tenancy type | Notice required |
| Week to week | Not less than 7 days' notice prior to the end of any weekly period[1] |
| Month to month | Not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period[1] |
| Quarter to quarter | Not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any quarterly period[2] |
| Year to year | Not less than 60 days' notice prior to the end of any annual period[1] |
The form itself is worded for a month-to-month tenancy. A week-to-week tenancy needs a shorter notice and a year-to-year tenancy needs a longer one.

Florida's landlord-tenant law also has rules about rent and waiver. They sit in Fla. Stat. § 83.56.[3.1] The rules below show how paying and accepting rent can affect the rights of a landlord and a tenant.

Fla. Stat. § 83.56(4) says the written notices required by subsections (1) to (3) of that section are delivered in one of four ways. Use the list as a practical guide for delivering your 30-day notice, and check your lease for any other delivery terms.
In practice, follow these steps when you deliver the notice:
A notice is not a lockout. A landlord may not force a tenant out by self-help, such as changing the locks. See the answer under Frequently Asked Questions.[4]
If you also need a lease for the next home, see our Florida month-to-month lease agreement. To end a lease by agreement instead, see our Florida lease termination letter.
If the rental agreement is terminated and the tenant does not vacate the premises, the landlord may recover possession of the dwelling unit as Section 83.59 provides.[5.1]
A landlord may not force a tenant out by self-help. Florida law says a landlord of a dwelling unit may not prevent the tenant from gaining reasonable access to the dwelling unit by any means, including changing the locks or using any bootlock or similar device.[4]
A month-to-month tenancy ends with not less than 30 days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period.[1]
No. A landlord does not waive the right to terminate the rental agreement or to bring a civil action for the noncompliance by accepting partial rent for the period.[3.1]
No. The notice requirements in Fla. Stat. § 83.56 may not be waived in the rental agreement.[3.1]
