Jacksonville, FL asked in Landlord - Tenant for Florida

Q: How many days notice do I have to give to my landlord in Florida if I'm planning to move? I am not on a lease.

My lease ended in March and no new lease was drawn up. Between then and now I have had a roommate abandon the property and her belongings. I continue to pay rent in full but her stuff is still in my apartment. Ideally, I'd like to move out by the end of the month and take her stuff with me to sell but I don't know what I'm legally allowed to do here.

A: If your lease payment scheduled was monthly, then 15 days notice is required.
