Given the stakes, it's common for property owners to consider whether they can draft this document themselves. While it is legally possible to write your own commercial lease agreement in Florida, doing so involves careful consideration of legal, business, and practical factors.
Under the statute of frauds limitations in Florida, contracts for land transfers, including rental agreements, are void if they cannot be performed within one year, unless they are in writing. Florida adopts the statute of frauds exceptions and require written leases for tenancies exceeding one year.
Lease agreements are considered to be legally binding once the document is signed by both parties.
Notarization: Unlike some legal documents, residential leases in Florida do not typically need to be notarized. The critical aspect is that both parties have agreed to the terms and have demonstrated this agreement by signing the lease.
While you can legally write your own commercial lease agreement in Florida, the risks often outweigh the benefits. For most landlords and business owners, the expertise of a qualified attorney is invaluable in this process.
