tenant
As a tenant in Florida, if you don't have a signed lease, you're likely considered a month-to-month tenant. This means:
- You must give at least 15 days' written notice before the end of any monthly period.
- Your landlord must also provide the same notice if they want you to leave.
- If no notice is given, you may leave without any obligations.
