This Letter from Tenant to Landlord - Lease Agreement Contains provision confessing judgment on a claim arising put of the rental agreement in violation of law. Notice Letter, T to LL, notification to LL that clause proporting to confess judgment is in violation of state law and void. Subject: Request for Amendment — Lease Agreement Provision Contravening Legal Rights Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concern regarding a specific provision within our lease agreement — the confessing judgment provision for claims arising out of the rental agreement. It is my understanding that this provision may potentially violate the laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships and dispute resolutions in Palm Beach, Florida. Palm Beach, Florida, widely known for its stunning coastlines, vibrant culture, and affluent residential communities, is a picturesque location attracting residents seeking a peaceful and harmonious living environment. As a tenant in one of your esteemed properties, I appreciate the opportunity to be part of this flourishing community. However, upon reviewing our lease agreement, I came across a provision requiring the tenant to confess judgment in the event of a claim arising from the rental agreement. While I understand that this provision might be intended to expedite payments or streamline potential legal proceedings, I believe it may infringe upon my legal rights as a tenant in Palm Beach, Florida. Under the laws governing landlord-tenant relationships in Palm Beach County, it is crucial that lease agreements adhere to certain provisions that promote fairness, transparency, and justice between both parties. I have consulted with legal professionals and find that a provision confessing judgment on a claim arising out of the rental agreement is deemed unenforceable and contrary to Florida Statute 83.48(2), which prohibits waiver of rights bestowed upon tenants. As a responsible and dutiful tenant, I value open communication and an amicable relationship with my landlord. Instead of requesting the removal of the entire confessing judgment provision, I kindly ask for an amendment to our lease agreement. The amendment should reflect the applicable Palm Beach County regulations, offering a fair and lawful resolution process for any disputes that may arise. I trust that, as a knowledgeable landlord, you prioritize compliance with the legal framework established for landlord-tenant relationships within Palm Beach, Florida. By revising the confessing judgment provision, we will align our lease agreement with the region's guidelines while ensuring our mutual interests are protected. To proceed with this amendment, I propose scheduling a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss the necessary updates to the lease agreement. I believe that through a collaborative effort, we can establish a more equitable and legally compliant resolution process, avoiding any unnecessary violations or disputes. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate our meeting and look forward to a favorable resolution that benefits both parties.
