FLORIDA RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL LEASES
A well-drafted lease should clearly allocate financial responsibility, maintenance duties, use restrictions, default remedies, and the procedures that apply when a problem occurs. GAF Real Estate Law drafts and reviews Florida residential and commercial leases for landlords, tenants, property owners, and businesses.
Important terms may include rent and additional charges, security deposits, renewal and termination, repairs and maintenance, insurance, utilities, permitted use, assignment and subletting, alterations, casualty, notices, personal guaranties, options, and remedies after default. Commercial leases often require additional attention to operating expenses, common-area charges, build-out obligations, exclusivity, signage, and business-specific risks.
Florida law treats residential and commercial tenancies differently, and the written lease should be coordinated with the applicable statutory requirements. Using a generic form can create gaps or conflicting provisions that become expensive when the relationship changes.
