Are you a residential landlord or tenant? What does your lease agreement say about giving notice to your landlord or tenant? If you are using a Florida Realtor lease from prior to July 1, 2025, it probably provides that all notices TO landlord shall be given by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by hand delivery to landlord or landlord’s agent and if TO tenant then also by certified mail, return receipt requested or delivered to tenant at the premises. My experience is that most people, including landlords and tenants, tend to communicate by e-mail. But until this past July 1, 2025, e-mail notification was not incorporated into most residential leases in Florida. Now we have Florida Statute section 83.505 which allows landlords and tenants to deliver legal notices by email—but only if both sides consent in writing. This marks a major modernization of landlord-tenant communication, but its not automatic or retroactive. The lease must include a signed addendum providing that the parties accept e-mail notifications. If you need help with implementing this into your lease agreements, I am happy to help.
