Tenancy at Will

Definition: A tenancy at will allows possession with the landlord’s consent without a fixed ending date, subject to applicable termination requirements.

Example

An owner permits ongoing occupancy without a stated final date. For a Florida residential rental with monthly rent and no agreed duration, the statute establishes a month-to-month tenancy.

Keep the distinction clear

At will does not mean a landlord can remove someone immediately without notice. Florida residential duration and termination rules depend on the arrangement; use the linked lesson for current notice requirements.
