Understanding Residential Real Estate Leases in Florida
Most residential leases involve apartment complexes, single family homes, multi-family units, and similar properties. If you are a landlord, you want to ensure that the property is kept in good condition and paid for in a timely manner. Additionally, you may want to limit pets, smoking, number of tenants, and other factors.
If you are a tenant, you want to ensure that you know your rights and responsibilities, understand how and when to pay your rent, and know what you need to do to get your security deposit back at the end of your time at the rental. A properly drafted lease agreement can ensure that these matters, as well as other issues, are properly addressed.

Dear Jake, Thank you so much for your outstanding skill at convincing people to follow the laws of their contractual agreements. We tried for years as you know to no avail.

We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know looking for legal aid. We wish you the very best for your upcoming marriage and desires for a growing family. Having a loving and supportive partner through life's experiences is a treasure that is beyond measure and compare.

Angie and Brittany were so kind and helpful on the phone. Calling a law firm can always be a little nerve wrecking especially if it’s your first time but they made me feel so comfortable. Mr. Dowd is so knowledgeable in probate and real estate that I would not recommend anyone else other than him on the Emerald Coast. Just overall the best staff!!- Jessica G.
