How the days are counted
3-day notice for unpaid rent. Under section 83.56(3), the tenant has 3 days after delivery, excluding Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays, to pay or leave. The count starts the day after delivery. A notice delivered on a Thursday does not end on Sunday; it ends on Tuesday, or later if a holiday falls in between.
7-day notice for a lease violation. Section 83.56(2) gives the tenant 7 days. The calculator counts 7 calendar days from the day after delivery. If the last day lands on a weekend or holiday, or the notice was mailed, ask your attorney whether more time applies.
30-day notice to end a month-to-month tenancy. Since July 1, 2023, section 83.57(3) requires written notice at least 30 days before the end of a monthly rental period. The calculator finds the first period end that is at least 30 days after delivery. Old 15-day templates are out of date.
Holidays
The calculator skips the holidays most Florida courts close for. The list is open above: untick any day your court was open, and check the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court calendar if you are unsure.
Delivering the notice the right way
The count only works if the notice was delivered properly: handed to the tenant, or left at the home when the tenant is absent, as the statute describes, with a record of when and how. That record is what you show the judge if the tenant says they never got it.
