Owner FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Does Florida have specific laws for landlords and tenants?
Yes. Florida has strong Landlord-Tenant Laws that clearly outline the rights and responsibilities of both parties. These laws are designed to protect both landlords and tenants and ensure fair, consistent rental practices throughout the state.
-
How does Flarent, Inc. ensure compliance with Florida Statutes?
As a Professional Property Management Company, we have extensive knowledge and experience in complying with all Florida Statutes. Our team stays up to date on current legal requirements to make sure every property we manage operates in full compliance, protecting your investment and minimizing legal risks.
-
Can you give an example of a Florida landlord requirement?
Certainly! Under Florida Statute 83.49, a landlord must notify a tenant in writing of any intention to impose a claim on their security deposit within 30 days after the tenant vacates the property. Failing to do so forfeits the landlord’s right to make that claim. Our management process ensures these legal timelines are always met accurately and professionally.

Are your leases and forms legally sound?
Absolutely. All of our leases, forms, and addendums are attorney-generated, ensuring they meet all current Florida legal standards. This provides an added layer of protection and peace of mind for both property owners and tenants.
