Florida’s residential landlord-tenant laws are covered in Title VI, Chapter 83, Part II of the Florida Statutes. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) provides a Landlord/Tenant Law Brochure summarizing key information for renting or leasing a property.

Florida law requires landlords to provide security deposit details, disclose any lead-based paint in older homes, and inform tenants about radon gas. Landlords must also give tenants reasonable notice before entering the property for non-emergency reasons.

1. Fireproofing and fire protection systems – Landlords must give tenants information about fire protection in buildings over 3-stories. ^[1]
2. Landlord/Owner Contact Information – The landlord’s full mailing address must be provided for tenant notices. ^[2]
3. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form – Required for rental units built before 1978. ^[3]
4. Radon Disclosure Form – Tenants must be informed about radon hazardous gas.
5. Security Deposit Disclosure – Explains how the tenant’s deposit will be handled during and after the lease.

• Maximum Amount ($) – Florida does not mandate the maximum amount that Landlords can request from Tenants.
• Returning – 15 days from the lease end date written in the lease agreement.
