    How much notice do need to give before moving out with an expired lease?
    I have been renting an apartment for 2.5 years now in Florida. Each of the first two full years I signed one year leases.

    However, the last lease has expired and I have been renting the last half year with out any signed lease.

    My question is, how much notice do I need to give my landlord before I move out? Keep in mind as well I do not want to forfeit my deposits.

    I have looked up the Florida Lease Laws and from my interpretation of them, I believe I need to give the landlord 15 days written notice (I assume then I am under a "verbal month to month" deal?).

    Can anyone confirm lead me in the write direction.

    Thanks.

    Hello goose:

    Without a lease, you're a month to month tenant. MY understanding of what that means, is that either of you need to give the other at least a 30 day notice for any changes...

    The worst that can happen is you gave it too soon. Do it in writing, sent certified, return receipt requested.

    You are correct.

    On a month to month tenancy in Florida, either party may terminate the tenancy with a written 15 day notice.

    Hello again:

    I don't doubt that 15 days is legally sufficient... But Florida must have dropped into the ocean...

    In the REAL world, a working family will NEVER be able to find a new dwelling and vacate a premises in 15 days - NEVER.

    Florida is setting up its landlords and tenants for failure... Our laws ain't supposed to do that!! They're supposed to do just the opposite.

    Maybe the sunshine bakes your brain.
