New Florida Law regarding electronic delivery of notices

Florida PMServices • May 18, 2025

Keeping up with advances in technology

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

How Today's Rental Experience is Changing what Tenants Expect

By Gaston Reboredo • July 14, 2026

Finding a great tenant for your single-family rental (SFR) used to rely primarily on a clean property and a well-placed "For Rent" sign. Today, the leasing journey begins long before anyone steps through the front door. Today’s renters expect the same convenience and speed from their housing search that they experience online every day, changing how property owners connect with and keep residents. First impressions are solidified online. According to a Zillow Report , 86% of renters now research and narrow down their housing options entirely online, with a growing segment choosing to skip traditional in-person tours altogether. Media-rich listings, transparent pricing, and comprehensive digital layouts seem to no longer be optional. If a property lacks a professional online footprint, many renters will simply scroll past. Convenience also continues to remain a deciding factor. Prospective tenants typically expect fast communication and frictionless leasing processes. The Buildium Industry Report highlights this heightened bar for responsiveness, noting that 48% of single-family renters now demand a response to inquiries within the same day. Utilizing automated workflows, online applications, and digital lease signings keeps high-quality applicants engaged before they pivot to a competitor. With all this in mind, the modern rental experience does not end at move-in. Long-term investor profitability relies heavily on tenant retention, which is deeply influenced by day-to-day operations. Recent SFR Software Reports confirms that professional maintenance management is the primary driver of resident satisfaction, revealing that satisfied residents are 72% more likely to renew their leases. Offering tools like online rent payments and easy maintenance tracking may help improve the resident experience and support stronger tenant satisfaction over time.
