Florida 7-Day Notice to Cure Lease Violation (2026)

A Florida 7-Day Notice to Cure is served when a tenant violates a curable provision of the lease — such as unauthorized pets, improper trash disposal, or parking violations. Under Florida Statutes § 83.56(2)(b), the landlord must describe the specific violation and give the tenant 7 calendar days to fix it. If the same violation recurs within 12 months, a 7-Day Unconditional Quit notice can be served.

When to Use This Notice

Use this notice when a tenant has committed a first-time, curable lease violation. The violation must be something the tenant can realistically fix within 7 days, such as removing an unauthorized pet or ceasing a prohibited activity.

What Must Be Included

Every element below is required under Florida Statutes § 83.56(2)(b) — missing any one can void the notice

Full legal name(s) of all tenants on the lease
Complete property address including unit number
A specific, detailed description of the lease violation
The exact lease provision or clause that was breached
A statement that the tenant has 7 days to cure the violation
A warning that if the violation recurs within 12 months, the landlord may terminate without cure

Common Mistakes That Void This Notice

Courts routinely dismiss eviction cases when landlords make these errors

Using vague descriptions — specify exactly what the violation is and what must be done to cure it
Serving a 7-Day Cure for non-curable violations (use Unconditional Quit instead)
Failing to include the 12-month recurrence warning required by statute
Not giving the tenant a realistic way to actually cure the violation
Skipping this step and jumping to an Unconditional Quit for first-time curable violations
Miscounting the 7 calendar days (the day of service is excluded)
