Basics of …Florida’s Landlord-Tenant Law

Landlord-Tenant Law. Roughly one-third of Americans live in rental apartments. In addition, roughly one-sixth of the population are landlords. This means the total number of people affected by Landlord Tenant law is around 40% of the population. Eviction cases make up over 31% of all lawsuits filed in County Courts in Florida, second only to small claims actions.
With so many people affected by Landlord-Tenant Law, it is important to know what it is, how it works and what the procedures are. Luckily, most people will never have to go to Court, but that also means those who do will often be facing a stressful, confusing system and process that they are unfamiliar with. The purpose of this book is to remove some of the confusion and in turn to alleviate some of the stress.
