Bill Summary
An act relating to vacating premises after rental agreement termination; amending s. 83.56, F.S.; requiring landlords to provide certain tenants a specified amount of time to vacate the premises after delivery of a notice to terminate the rental agreement before bringing a specified action; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Florida's landlord-tenant law by requiring landlords to provide at least 3 months' notice before filing an eviction action if the tenant is pregnant or has children under 18 years old living in the dwelling unit. Currently, landlords can typically initiate eviction proceedings with a shorter notice period. The new provision mandates that even after receiving a written termination notice, these tenants must be given a 3-month window to vacate the premises before the landlord can legally pursue an action for possession of the property. This change aims to provide additional protection and time for families with children or expecting mothers to find alternative housing after receiving a notice to vacate. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving landlords and tenants time to prepare for the new requirement.
