In Florida, your legal status changes significantly after 30 days, but a hotel can still remove you if you violate terms or stop paying. Under Florida Statute Chapter 509, a guest staying for 30 days or less is a "transient" guest and can be removed by law enforcement for "non-payment" or "misconduct" without a formal eviction. However, once you stay past 30 consecutive days, you are generally classified as a "non-transient" resident. At this point, you gain certain tenant-like protections, and the hotel may be required to follow a formal judicial eviction process rather than just calling the police to escort you off the property. To prevent this "accidental tenancy," many Florida hotels require guests to check out and "reset" their stay before hitting the 31-day mark, or they may have you sign a specific agreement acknowledging your transient status regardless of the length of stay to ensure they maintain the right to remove you quickly if needed.
