Approve Signatory Lease For Free

LANDLORDS CANNOT JUST THROW YOU OUT. Florida law prohibits landlords from evicting tenants without going through the court system (self-help evictions). Your landlord can't evict you without a judge's order. And if the sheriff shows up to evict you, he also must have a court order.

The landlord only has to send proper notice to the tenant, allowing for the number of days provided by Fla. Stat. § 83.57. For instance, month-to-month tenants must be given 15 days to vacate.

For rental periods of at least one month, one month after the day notice is given. For rental periods of less than one month, "the day following the expiration of the period beginning on the day on which notice is given and extending for a number of days equal to the number of days in the rent-paying period."

Lessee: What's the difference? In a lease agreement, the lessor is the person or party that issues the lease (allows the property to be rented), and the lessee is the person that the lease is granted to (the person paying rent to use the property).

The lease should also be signed by all occupants who are adults, and state whether there is a security deposit and how it may be utilized. It should also state whether the tenant may sublease the apartment.

Prematurely demanding rent. Changing locks or other self-help eviction actions. Disposing or seizing tenants' personal property. Abusive, profane, or threatening language.
