How Florida farm leases work
When a Florida lease can end, how much notice it takes and what to put in writing.
How to end a Florida farm lease
Farmland falls under Part I of Florida's landlord-tenant law for nonresidential tenancies (Fla. Stat. ch. 83, Part I). The notice period depends on how the tenancy runs.
| Situation | Notice rule |
|---|---|
| Year to year | At least 3 months before the end of the year |
| Quarter to quarter | At least 45 days |
| Month to month | At least 15 days |
| Written lease with an end date | Ends on the stated date |
The 60-day year-to-year rule people often quote is the residential rule (§ 83.57), not the farmland rule. Deliver notice by certified mail or hand delivery with proof. Compare every state in Oaken's farm lease termination guide.

Setting the rent? The 2026 median non-irrigated cropland rent across 21 of 67 published Florida counties is $43.50 per acre. Compare yours on the Florida cash rent by county map or read the 2026 rent negotiation guide.
Oral vs. written leases in Florida
Under Fla. Stat. § 689.01, a lease for more than one year must be in writing and signed in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. Leases of one year or less can be oral, but are hard to prove.
Our advice: a lease that has rolled over for years on a handshake leaves no record of the rent, input splits or notice terms. Write it down, even for a one-year deal. Get the templates →

Florida farm lease questions
What is the deadline to terminate a farm lease in Florida?
For a year-to-year tenancy, Florida Statutes § 83.03 requires at least 3 months' notice before the end of the annual period. Quarter-to-quarter tenancies need 45 days and month-to-month tenancies need 15 days. A written lease with a fixed end date ends on that date.
Is the Florida farm lease notice 60 days or 3 months?
For farmland, 3 months. The 60-day year-to-year rule is in § 83.57, which covers residential tenancies. Farmland is a nonresidential tenancy under Part I of chapter 83, where § 83.03 sets 3 months for year-to-year tenancies.
Does a Florida farm lease need witnesses?
A lease for a term of more than one year must be in writing and signed in the presence of two subscribing witnesses under Florida Statutes § 689.01. Leases of one year or less do not need witnesses.
What is the average farmland cash rent in Florida in 2026?
Across the 21 of 67 Florida counties with published 2026 USDA NASS cash rent data, the median county rent for non-irrigated cropland is $43.50 per acre. Oaken's Florida cash rent map shows every published county, its rank and its change from 2025.
How does Oaken help manage Florida farmland leases?
Oaken keeps every Florida lease, landowner and payment in one place. It tracks rent due dates and each lease's notice deadline, calculates flex and crop-share payments, and gives landowners a portal for statements, so nothing depends on a binder or one person's memory.
