Answer:
The following is a Florida statute:
83.46 Rent; duration of tenancies. —
(1) Unless otherwise agreed, rent is payable without demand or notice;
periodic rent is payable at the beginning of each rent payment period; and
rent is uniformly apportionable from day to day.
(2) If the rental agreement contains no provision as to duration of the
tenancy, the duration is determined by the periods for which the rent is
payable. If the rent is payable weekly, then the tenancy is from week to
week; if payable monthly, tenancy is from month to month; if payable
quarterly, tenancy is from quarter to quarter; if payable yearly, tenancy
is from year to year.
(3) If the dwelling unit is furnished without rent as an incident of
employment and there is no agreement as to the duration of the tenancy, the
duration is determined by the periods for which wages are payable. If wages
are payable weekly or more frequently, then the tenancy is from week to
week; and if wages are payable monthly or no wages are payable, then the
tenancy is from month to month. In the event that the employee ceases
employment, the employer shall be entitled to rent for the period from the
day after the employee ceases employment until the day that the dwelling
unit is vacated at a rate equivalent to the rate charged for similarly
situated residences in the area. This subsection shall not apply to an
employee or a resident manager of an apartment house or an apartment
complex when there is a written agreement to the contrary.
83.57 Termination of tenancy without specific term. —
A tenancy without a specific duration, as defined in s. 83.46(2) or (3),
may be terminated by either party giving written notice in the manner
provided in s. 83.56(4), as follows:
(1) When the tenancy is from year to year, by giving not less than 60
days' notice prior to the end of any annual period;
(2) When the tenancy is from quarter to quarter, by giving not less than
30 days' notice prior to the end of any quarterly period;
(3) When the tenancy is from month to month, by giving not less than 15
days' notice prior to the end of any monthly period; and
(4) When the tenancy is from week to week, by giving not less than 7
days' notice prior to the end of any weekly period.
