Florida lease renewal laws are in place to protect both tenants and landlords. These laws govern the process of renewing a lease agreement in Florida and ensure that both parties are aware of their rights and obligations.
Tenants and landlords must be familiar with these laws to avoid any legal issues that may arise during the lease renewal process.
Under Florida law, lease agreements can be renewed either automatically or by mutual agreement between the tenant and landlord. Automatic renewals occur when the lease agreement specifies that it will renew for a certain period unless the tenant or landlord provides notice to terminate the lease.
On the other hand, mutual renewals occur when both parties agree to renew the lease for a specific period.
