A Florida 7-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Compliance) is a memo drafted by a landlord and served to a tenant specifying a non-compliance action that has occurred. The non-compliance may be for any breach of the rental agreement that is not related to the failure of paying rent.
Laws – F.S.A. § 83.56(2)(a)(b)
Two (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 – If the tenant causes incurable property damage or repeats the same lease violation within a 12 month period, the landlord has the option to terminate the lease. Under such notice, the tenant would have 7 days to vacate the property with no option to stay. Upon receipt of such notice, the rental agreement is terminated immediately.
