Legal Services for Real Estate Leasing

We represent clients on both sides of leasing transactions and disputes. Our services include:

Lease Drafting and Negotiation

We prepare and negotiate residential and commercial leases that clearly define rights, responsibilities, and remedies. Common lease types include:

• Residential leases (long-term and short-term)

• Commercial leases (office, retail, warehouse, and mixed-use)

• Ground leases and land use arrangements

• Triple net (NNN) and modified gross leases

• Lease renewals, extensions, and options

Lease Review

Whether you are a landlord or tenant, we review proposed leases to ensure fair terms, risk protection, and legal compliance. We highlight problematic provisions, recommend revisions, and explain your obligations.

Tenant and Landlord Disputes

When lease agreements break down, we help clients resolve:

• Lease termination disputes

• Breach of lease and eviction proceedings

• Non-payment of rent and damages

• Property condition and maintenance issues

• Security deposit claims

• Holdover tenants and unlawful detainer actions

We aim to resolve disputes efficiently, with minimal disruption and cost, and we offer both pre-litigation negotiation and formal legal representation in court.

Why Choose a Real Estate Leasing Attorney?

Standard lease templates rarely address the specific risks or complexities of your situation. Poorly written leases often result in misunderstandings, unenforceable clauses, or disputes that could have been prevented. Engaging a real estate leasing attorney ensures:

• The lease is enforceable under Florida law

• Your financial and legal interests are protected

• All local zoning, code, or HOA rules are followed

• Tenant use is aligned with property type or business goals

• Your remedies and rights are clearly preserved in the event of breach

For landlords, this helps reduce vacancy, preserve property value, and streamline tenant relations. For tenants, it prevents surprises and helps negotiate favorable terms.

We serve a broad range of clients in leasing transactions and disputes, including:

• Residential landlords and property managers

• Commercial landlords and business owners

• Retail tenants and franchisees

• Professional service firms and medical offices
