How much notice is required for a rent increase in Miami?

Florida requires at least 60 days written notice before raising rent on a month-to-month tenancy. Some local ordinances require longer notice — check Miami's rules.

Is there a cap on rent increases in Miami?

Florida has no statewide cap on rent increases. Whether Miami has a local rent-stabilization ordinance depends on local law — Florida law preempts rent control, so Miami has no cap. State law requires 60 days notice for any month-to-month increase over 5%.

Can my landlord raise rent during my lease in Miami?

Generally no — a fixed-term lease in Florida locks the rent until the lease ends. Increases usually apply only at renewal or on a month-to-month tenancy with the required 60-day written notice.

What should I do if my Miami rent increase looks illegal?

Document the notice in writing, calculate the percentage increase, compare to Florida's notice rule, and contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal-aid clinic. You can also send a written dispute letter citing the statute.
