Palm Beach County Mayor Robert Weinroth announced today that the Board of
County Commissioners has unanimously approved revisions to the county
ordinance pertaining to notices provided to tenants on residential rental
increases and lease terminations.
The revised ordinance will require property owners and/or landlords
provide tenants with a 60 day notice for a lease termination and/or rental
increase of more than five percent and is expected to be in effect by
mid-September.
“Over the past year, the county has experienced a significant increase in
rental rates and reports indicate more than half of renters' households in
Palm Beach County have been impacted. I can assure you that the county is
addressing these challenges and will continue to do so," Weinroth said.
Any municipal ordinances in Palm Beach County adopted before or after the
adoption would remain in effect, and municipalities can opt out of the
provisions.
