No, during the term of a written lease in Florida, a landlord generally must have a legal reason (“cause”) to evict, such as nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, illegal activity, or other statutory grounds, and must follow the required notice and court process.
If the lease has expired and is not renewed, the landlord can simply choose not to renew without giving a cause.
For tenancies that continue after a lease ends (e.g., month-to-month), a landlord may terminate the tenancy without cause by giving proper written notice (e.g., at least 30 days before the end of a monthly period) and then pursue eviction if the tenant doesn’t vacate.
