This is a letter from Landlord to Tenant that the Sublease has been granted. Rent will be paid by sub-tenant, but Tenant remains liable for rent and damages.
A security deposit is a sum of money paid by the tenant to the landlord before moving in. In Florida, a landlord can charge a security deposit, but the amount should not exceed one month's rent for an unfurnished property or two months' rent for a furnished one.
In Florida, a landlord cannot increase the rent during the lease agreement unless it is specified in the lease. However, once the lease term ends, the landlord can negotiate a new rent amount for the subsequent lease.
While it is not a legal requirement in Florida for the landlord to provide a written rental agreement, it is highly recommended for both parties' protection. A written agreement helps avoid misunderstandings and provides a clear record of the terms agreed upon.
In Florida, a landlord can terminate a lease agreement without any reason as long as proper notice is given. Typically, the notice period is 15 days for month-to-month leases and 7 days for weekly leases.
In Florida, a landlord can legally evict a tenant for non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, or illegal activities on the property. The eviction process requires the landlord to provide a written notice and go through the court system.
No, a landlord cannot keep the security deposit for any reason. In Florida, the landlord must provide a written notice explaining the damages claimed against the deposit within 30 days after the tenant moves out. The deposit must be returned within 15 days if no deductions are made.
If the landlord fails to make necessary repairs that affect the tenant's health or safety, the tenant can use the legal remedy known as 'repair and deduct.' This allows the tenant to hire a professional to fix the issue and deduct the cost from the rent, as long as certain requirements are met.
In Florida, a landlord cannot enter the rental property without the tenant's permission, except in emergencies or by giving reasonable notice for inspections, repairs, or other necessary purposes. The notice should be given at least 12 hours in advance.
If a tenant wants to terminate the lease early in Florida, they should review the lease agreement for any early termination clauses. If there are no such clauses, the tenant should communicate their intention to the landlord in writing and try to negotiate an agreement. It's important to note that the tenant may still be responsible for rent until a new tenant is found.
In Florida, a tenant generally cannot withhold rent for maintenance issues. However, if the repair issue poses a serious health or safety risk, the tenant may be eligible for the 'repair and deduct' remedy or seek legal advice to address the situation.
