Landlord Tenant

Florida Statute Chapter 83 provides strict guidelines for the manner in which landlords and tenants must interact. There are a number of prohibited practices, notices requiring exact wording, and several technicalities that can often result in one side paying attorney's fees, court costs, and damages. Landlord-Tenant Law is a deceptively-simple area of law. Many the forms and free booklets regarding Landlord-Tenant actions appear to be something that the lay-person can deal with. However, there are many pitfalls that can be very costly and time consuming if the Landlord or Tenant isn’t very careful. In addition to the Florida Statutes, county and city ordinances typically provide guidelines and policies surround the number of tenants allowed in an apartment, parking situations, subsidized housing requirements, and tax assessments.

Florida Statutes Chapter 723,  addresses Mobile Home Park Lot Tenancies. This is another area of law that is often misunderstood upon first review. The rights and requirements of landlords and tenants in leasing lots and/or mobile homes are distinctly different than those residing or managing standard residential complexes. Our office has substantial experience addressing disputes and drafting contractual agreements surrounding mobile home facilities and communities.
