Laws – Florida Statutes § 83.56
2 Types
- Option to Cure – If the tenant violates the lease in such a way that is curable. Such as catching the tenant smoking on the property, playing loud music, etc. The tenant must provide notice to the landlord within 7 days that the violation has been cured or vacate the property.
- No Option to Cure – Florida provides some grounds for terminating the lease without an option to cure for more substantial violations. These include violations in which the tenant:
- Repeats the same lease violation within a 12 month period after having been given prior notice;
- Intentionally destroys, damages, or misuses the rental property;
- Takes possession in a fraudulent manner, such as by misrepresenting their identity or forging documents in the rental application; and
- Repeats or continues an unreasonable disturbance after being told to cease.
