Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Litigation in Florida

Real estate litigation refers to legal disputes involving property rights, transactions, contracts, or ownership. In Florida, this can include breach of purchase agreements, title defects, boundary disputes, landlord-tenant issues, or construction claims. Litigation may occur between buyers, sellers, developers, homeowners, or other parties involved in the property.

You should contact a real estate attorney as soon as a dispute arises that could affect your ownership, investment, or ability to close on a property. Early legal guidance helps preserve your rights, prevent escalation, and often resolve matters before they reach court. Common reasons include contract breaches, title problems, or disagreements over escrow deposits.

In Florida, frequent real estate litigation issues include:

  • Breach of real estate contracts

  • Title or boundary disputes

  • Earnest money deposit disputes

  • Construction defects

  • Landlord-tenant disagreements

Easement and access issues
 Each case requires a detailed review of contracts, closing documents, and property records to determine the best legal strategy.

Yes. Many real estate disputes are resolved through mediation, arbitration, or negotiated settlements before trial. A skilled attorney can use Florida’s pre-suit procedures to reach agreements that save time, costs, and relationships while still protecting your interests.

If one party fails to meet their obligations under a purchase or sale agreement, the other may seek remedies such as specific performance (forcing completion of the sale), monetary damages, or cancellation of the contract. Florida law allows both parties to pursue legal action depending on how the breach occurred and what the contract specifies.

The statute of limitations varies depending on the claim:

  • Written contracts: 5 years

  • Oral agreements: 4 years

  • Fraud or misrepresentation: 4 years

  • Property damage: 4 years
    It’s important to consult an attorney promptly — missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim.

Yes. Pending litigation can cloud title, delay closings, or prevent transfers until the dispute is resolved. A Florida real estate attorney can help clear title, negotiate escrow releases, or represent you in court to protect your ownership rights.

Mediation is a confidential process where both parties meet with a neutral mediator to find a resolution without going to court. In Florida, judges often require mediation before trial, and many disputes settle at this stage. It’s a cost-effective way to resolve conflicts while maintaining control over the outcome.

Bring all relevant documents, including:

  • The purchase or lease agreement

  • Correspondence with the other party

  • Title reports or closing documents

  • Photographs or repair estimates (if applicable)

Having these materials ready allows your attorney to quickly assess your legal position and recommend next steps.
