Understanding the Basics of Landlord-Tenant Law

As the name implies, Florida's landlord-tenant laws govern the rights and responsibilities of individuals and entities in a landlord-tenant relationship. This relationship is established when a landlord agrees to rent a property to a tenant, generally through a lease agreement. The laws are meant to protect the rights of both parties during their tenant-landlord relationship.

Common Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Our firm has the know-how and resources to represent landlords and tenants alike in the following common disputes and others:

  • Lease agreement breaches: A lease agreement outlines the terms and conditions of a tenant's stay in a rented property. It includes details concerning rent and maintenance responsibilities. Legal action may be necessary if either the tenant or landlord fails to uphold the agreement. 
  • Security deposit disputes: Security deposits can cover potential damages or cleaning costs when tenants vacate properties. Disputes often stem from security deposit deductions and whether they were justified. 
  • Eviction proceedings: Landlords can evict tenants from properties for reasons such as missed rent payments or lease violations. However, they must follow certain legal procedures in doing so. Otherwise, the eviction could be contested. 
  • Ejectment action: Landlords are able to remove someone who does not have a lease agreement or permission to occupy a property via an ejectment action. This includes unauthorized subletters, squatters, or former tenants who have not left after a lease's completion.
  • Unlawful detainer lawsuits: Landlords may file this type of lawsuit to remove those making unlawful claims to own a property or occupying a building without a lease agreement.
