State Subletting Regulation

Florida state law on subleasing of rental homes totally depends on the agreed terms in the contract of lease.
For instance:
  1. If a lease says subletting is allowed—or doesn’t mention subletting at all—a tenant is free to rent out their home to someone else (who then becomes their subtenant).
  2. If a lease does not allow subletting, that provision is valid, and the tenant may not sublease their home.
  3. If a lease allows subletting, but only with explicit consent of the landlord, a tenant must get their landlord’s permission before moving forward.
This is true throughout the state of Florida, and no Florida cities have adopted different rules. For more detailed information, you may visit Florida Legislature on Rights and Duties of Tenants and Landlords.
