Summary

The bill revises Florida rental law so landlords cannot add any fee or surcharge while tenants have five days to pay overdue rent. It also lengthens the notice period a landlord must give before terminating a lease from three to five days and adds rules that require tenants to deposit rent into the court registry when they raise defenses. The changes are intended to give renters more protection and clearer eviction procedures.
