Landlords raising rent without notice

Does it state in your lease when they agree to notify you of increases? I get 90 days notice because they require 60 days written notice if I do not want to renew. Looks like Florida may be very lax. There are links to sites to ask for help, but once you have notice that short, it's too late.

 

A Google search for "Florida landlord tenant law" turns up a number of hits. One of the top hits contains this page:

Scroll down to the section "Amount of Notice Florida Landlords Must Give Tenants to Increase Rent". If you're on a month-to-month lease, you're probably stuck, unless you can make a claim on the issue of 14 days versus 15 days. If you're on a longer term lease (e.g. yearly), then the rent has to stay the same through the end of the lease, unless the lease itself explicitly specifies otherwise.

 

He's talking about his rent increasing when the lease renews, but they only gave him 2 weeks notice!

According to this link, they are only required to give you 15 days notice unless otherwise stated in your lease, THAT SUCKS!.

It appears that since your lease is ending, they can raise your rent with virtually no notice. How much notice do they require to move out? Can you give this notice after learning of your rent increase?

 

Since the lease hasn't been renewed, the notice before leaving issue is moot. I would have thought though that it would be to the landlord's benefit to get the new lease signed earlier (or confirm the tenant is leaving), to reduce the amount of time the apartment might sit vacant.
