Lease Drafting With An Experienced Attorney

We understand that you want to provide yourself a residual income by leasing your property to responsible tenants. We will help you prepare leases that protect you and your residential real estate. Whether you own one rental property or hundreds, our attorneys are up to date on Florida and federal law. We are able to craft a lease that suits your needs, protects your investment from an unsavory tenant and maximizes the value to you as the landlord.

Lease Terminations And Evictions In Florida

We are well-versed at helping you understand when you can and cannot proceed with evictions. Our lawyers will guide you and help you gather the necessary documentation to protect your residential real estate rights while pursuing an eviction.

Evictions can be complex and timing is everything. The law in Florida is very favorable to landlords who work precisely within the parameters outlined. However, it can be very unforgiving for those who do not. We understand the nuances of the landlord-tenant statutes related to lease terminations and evictions, and we will guide you through the process.

It is always better to resolve your lease disputes quickly and amicably, but when you must proceed with an eviction, we offer low fixed fees for possession actions and flexible rates for damages actions.

Deposit Disputes Between Landlords And Tenants

It is common for deposit disputes to arise while dealing with the end of the lease term. Our team is experienced at handling disputes related to deposits and when to proceed with formal legal actions. Our residential real estate attorneys will help you make the right decision while keeping your legal fees to a minimum.
