Landlord

What do I do once I have chosen a tenant?

• Our office can assist you and your tenant in creating a lease that is in your best interest and protects your legal rights.  We will assist you in collecting your initial deposits and advise you as to your rights and obligations as a landlord in Florida.

My tenant has not paid their rent in a few months, can your firm help me evict them?

• Of course.  Our firm will completely handle your eviction and make the process as simple as possible.  Since not all evictions are the same, you should contact our office and schedule to meet with one of our attorneys for an initial consultation.

I have had a tenant living in my property for years, I don’t have a lease and I’ve never had a problem or a missed payment, why would I need to go through this hassle?

• Sanchez Law Group guarantees that this process will be as hassle-free as possible.  If you intend to keep your tenant, you should renew a lease at the end of each lease term.  This ensures your protection and it dictates the tenant’s obligations so there is no misunderstanding should your tenant default.

Why hire an attorney when I can purchase lease forms from an Office Supply?

• Leases that are purchased from a store or generic forms do not adequately outline the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords.  These forms are usually not approved by the Florida Bar and will not hold up in a court of law.

Tenant

My home is inhabitable, what should I do?

• If your landlord is not meeting his obligations and you are living in a place that is dangerous to your health, our attorneys can represent you to either leave your property or enforce your landlord to repair and make your home safe.  You should not live in a place that is dangerous to yourself. Allow one of our attorneys to guide you in this delicate matter.

My landlord has given a lease that I don’t understand, how can you help?

• You should always contact an attorney if you are unsure as to the terms of a contract.  Remember, a lease is a binding, legal document and you should take precautions from binding yourself into a contract that you are unsure about.  Sanchez Law Group, P.A. will make every effort to protect your rights as a tenant.

If I am being wrongfully evicted, what are my rights as a tenant?

• If you are being wrongfully evicted, you should contact an attorney immediately.  Sanchez Law Group, P.A will take the steps necessary to ensure your protection and demand proper compensation for any and all costs you incur, including attorney fees.

I have moved out of my home, and yet to receive my security deposit, can you help me recover it?

• Yes.  The law gives landlords certain time to return any deposits.  If you have not received notice concerning your deposit and it has not been returned, our attorneys will demand that you receive what is justly yours.  We will make every effort for you to claim any previous deposits that belong to you.
