FAQ
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.
Once properly executed and signed, a Florida lease agreement does not require notarization as a validity requirement. While all documents recorded in public records are notarized, notarizing a commercial lease agreement will not affect its validity – neither positively nor negatively.
To ensure a Florida lease agreement is legally valid, certain requirements must be met. These include having a written agreement, disclosing necessary information, adhering to security deposit limits, and protecting tenant rights and protections.
Further, any lease over one year in duration must be in writing and signed by the parties. There is currently no witness requirement for commercial leases in Florida, and a notary is not necessary.
Lease agreements are considered to be legally binding once the document is signed by both parties.
