New Florida Law regarding electronic delivery of notices

The Florida House and Senate passed Florida House Bill 615 (2025) creating Florida Statute 83.505 which allows Landlords and Tenants to send each other notices electronically by email. The bill comprehensively updates several existing Florida statutes to incorporate electronic delivery options, including laws governing security deposits (83.49), landlord address disclosure (83.50), maintenance obligations (83.51), lease terminations (83.56), and specific duration tenancies (83.575)

The new law acknowledges the reality that most business and personal communications now happen electronically, while still maintaining appropriate legal safeguards for all parties involved in residential tenancies..

Landlords and Tenants have to execute a specific addendum to the rental or lease agreement to opt in or not in electronic delivery notices. 

Our attorneys have prepared the required addendum which we are going to offer to all our tenants starting July 1 2025 when the new law takes effect.  To read the law please click HERE then click on open in a new window and you will be taken to the new law
