Florida Landlord-Tenant Law is set forth in Florida Statutes at Part II, Chapter 83, Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act. The Act governs the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants. Even in the event of a signed lease, the Florida Landlord Tenant Laws “prevail over what the lease says,” according to The Florida Bar Foundation.  It is therefore important for you to know your rights and to consult with an experienced Real Estate  Attorney to handle your landlord-tenant concerns.
