How much can a landlord raise rent in Florida?
Florida has no cap on rent increases, and state law bars cities and counties from adopting rent control or their own notice rules. Rent can rise only when the lease allows or when a lease ends; to change a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must give at least 30 days' written notice before the end of a monthly period.

Is there a cap on rent increases in Florida?
No Florida law caps the amount of a residential rent increase.
Local rent control
- None. Regulating residential tenancies, including notice requirements and fees, is reserved to the state (Fla. Stat. § 83.425, added in 2023), and counties and cities may not impose rent controls (Fla. Stat. §§ 125.0103, 166.043). The former housing-emergency exception was repealed in 2023.
How much notice is required?
No statute sets a specific notice period for rent increases. A month-to-month tenancy can be ended with at least 30 days' written notice before the end of a monthly period (Fla. Stat. § 83.57(3)), which is the practical minimum to change the rent. Year-to-year: 60 days; quarter-to-quarter: 30 days; week-to-week: 7 days.
How often can rent go up?
No statutory limit.
During a fixed-term lease
No Florida statute allows an increase during a fixed-term lease. The rent in a signed lease generally binds both sides until it ends, unless the lease itself provides for an increase.
Retaliatory increases
A landlord may not raise the rent or reduce services mainly in retaliation for a tenant's good-faith code complaint, tenant organizing or other protected acts (Fla. Stat. § 83.64). Retaliation is a defense in an eviction case.
Other rules to know
- Mobile home parks: at least 90 days' written notice before a lot rental increase (Fla. Stat. § 723.037).
- A fee in lieu of a security deposit is optional and may not be increased during the agreement (Fla. Stat. § 83.491).
