There is a juggernaut argument that says that this <u>is</u> a lease agreement and when the expiration date came there was no need for any further action for the lease to terminate provided nothing else happened (see rental payment scenario infra). See F.S. 83.43 (7) (Definitions: rental agreement); F.S. 83.46 (2) (duration of tenancies).</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> Other than that, I really don't know what to tell ya.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Hegel Laurent, ESQ.<br>Laurent Law Office, P.L.<br>One Biscayne Place<br>11098 Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 401<br>Miami, FL 33161<br>Ph: <a href="tel:(786)%20453-7198" value="+17864537198" target="_blank">786. 453. 7198</a> // F: <a href="tel:(786)%20233-6169" value="+17862336169" target="_blank">786.233.6169</a></div><div class="gmail_extra" dir="auto"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 17, 2017 4:01 PM, "Cary P.

<div style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma;COLOR:#000000;DIRECTION:ltr">Would like to get feedback on whether you believe e-mail notice to terminate a month to month residential tenancy is sufficient. Facts are straightforward. Standard FAR Residential lease. Notice provision for both landlord and tenant gives physical addresses. Landlord and tenant's emails are listed on lease. Most prior communications between L&T are via e-mail. Tenant gives notice to landlord via e-mail that they are terminating and leaving at end of next monthly period. Landlord says OK. Then shortly before tenant is to vacate, tenant sends e-mail stating they are not leaving. I found one Florida Laws Supplement case from 2007 that held the e-mail notice was sufficient under the same statute. Anybody litigate this issue before?<br><br>
