If you’re renting a property in Florida without a lease, you still have rights as a tenant. Florida law entitles every tenant, with or without a written lease, to the right of peaceful, private possession of a residence.
Once you begin paying rent, the dwelling unit is yours to use lawfully, and the landlord or property owner can enter the rental property only to make repairs or to inspect it.
While the law may seem straightforward, it can be challenging to navigate without a written agreement. Understanding your rights as a tenant without a lease in Florida is crucial to avoid misunderstandings and potential legal disputes.
In this article, we’ll go over what you need to know about renters’ rights without a lease in Florida, including eviction and legal recourses, and answer some frequently asked questions.
