Certify Signature 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.

Signing a lease means that you are legally obligated to live up to the lease terms, including rent payments and late rent fees. So, if every adult in the property signs the lease and the main tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can legally pursue the other tenants to pay any late fees or overdue rent.

Whether your landlord is harassing you for rent, excessively texting you, calling your place of employment, or calling you late at night you might have a claim against your landlord for violating the FCCPA.

Firstly, a landlord cannot discriminate against tenants based on factors like race, religion, or disability. Secondly, they cannot retaliate against tenants for exercising their legal rights. Moreover, landlords cannot enter rental units without proper notice, withhold necessary repairs, or increase rent excessively.

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."

Specifically, the law decreases the required notice period for tenants from a minimum of 60 days to a range of 30 to 60 days. Meanwhile, it offers a small benefit to month-to-month renters by extending the notice period for ending their tenancy from 15 days to 30 days.

Under Florida law, tenants are protected from retaliation and discrimination by landlords. This means a landlord cannot retaliate against a tenant for exercising their legal rights, such as reporting a code violation or requesting repairs.
