Landlord/Tenant

Fort Lauderdale Landlord/Tenant Attorney

From failure to pay rent, property damage, premises liability, and any violations of lease provisions, disputes between landlords and tenants happen. The legal rights and obligations of tenants and landlords are clearly defined under Florida Statutes. And some South Florida counties and municipalities have local ordinances that create stricter health and safety standards, nuisance laws, and anti-discrimination statutes.

Though the protections and expectations differ between commercial and residential property, each dispute hinges on provisions of the lease agreement. An attorney is a useful guide to your lease agreement and can even find solutions that don’t require litigation. A stern notice from your attorney may be all you need to settle a dispute. A well-written lease with explicit terms can quickly and simply resolve disagreements between tenants and landlords.
