Hi rambler:
Since Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes is entitled, "Landlord and
Tenant", I am going to assume that the noisy neighbors in question are
renting their property.
In that case, I believe I have found the quotes you are looking for.
First, let's look at:
83.52 Tenant's obligation to maintain dwelling unit

Quote: "The tenant at all times during the tenancy shall:...(7)
Conduct himself or herself, and require other persons on the premises
with his or her consent to conduct themselves, in a manner that does
not unreasonably disturb the tenant's neighbors or constitute a breach
of the peace."
If the neighbors are excessively noisy, that would constitute a
disturbance and a breach of the peace. In that case:
83.56 Termination of rental agreement.--

Quote: "(2) If the tenant materially fails to comply with s. 83.52 or
material provisions of the rental agreement, other than a failure to
pay rent, or reasonable rules or regulations, the landlord may:
(a) If such noncompliance is of a nature that the tenant should not
be given an opportunity to cure it or if the noncompliance constitutes
a subsequent or continuing noncompliance within 12 months of a written
warning by the landlord of a similar violation, deliver a written
notice to the tenant specifying the noncompliance and the landlord's
intent to terminate the rental agreement by reason thereof. Examples
of noncompliance which are of a nature that the tenant should not be
given an opportunity to cure include, but are not limited to,
destruction, damage, or misuse of the landlord's or other tenants'
property by intentional act or a subsequent or continued unreasonable
disturbance. In such event, the landlord may terminate the rental
agreement, and the tenant shall have 7 days from the date that the
notice is delivered to vacate the premises. The notice shall be
adequate if it is in substantially the following form:
You are advised that your lease is terminated effective immediately.
You shall have 7 days from the delivery of this letter to vacate the
premises. This action is taken because (cite the noncompliance) .
(b) If such noncompliance is of a nature that the tenant should be
given an opportunity to cure it, deliver a written notice to the
tenant specifying the noncompliance, including a notice that, if the
noncompliance is not corrected within 7 days from the date the written
notice is delivered, the landlord shall terminate the rental agreement
by reason thereof. Examples of such noncompliance include, but are not
limited to, activities in contravention of the lease or this act such
as having or permitting unauthorized pets, guests, or vehicles;
parking in an unauthorized manner or permitting such parking; or
failing to keep the premises clean and sanitary. The notice shall be
adequate if it is in substantially the following form:
You are hereby notified that (cite the noncompliance) . Demand is
hereby made that you remedy the noncompliance within 7 days of receipt
of this notice or your lease shall be deemed terminated and you shall
vacate the premises upon such termination. If this same conduct or
conduct of a similar nature is repeated within 12 months, your tenancy
is subject to termination without your being given an opportunity to
cure the noncompliance."
I hope this helps. It looks to me, however, that you'll need your
neighbor's landlords cooperation on this.
