ABANDONED PROPERTY WORDING  WHICH NEEDS TO BE IN ALL LEASES

83.67  BY SIGNING THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT, THE TENANT AGREES THAT UPON SURRENDER, ABANDONMENT, OR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE DWELLING UNIT DUE TO THE DEATH OF THE LAST REMAINING TENANT, AS PROVIDED BY CHAPTER 83, FLORIDA STATUTES, THE LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR STORAGE OR DISPOSITION OF THE TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY.

Explanation: Florida Law now allows us to bypass the abandoned property notice procedures if this wording is in the lease agreement AND the tenant has indeed abandoned the property. We urge you to exercise extreme caution in using this as a means of disposing of abandoned property.  Please make sure the unit is legally abandoned prior to disposing of the property. If you are not 100% sure that the unit is abandoned, we recommend eviction as the safest route.

NOTE: The tenant must have abandoned. They must be completely gone for 15 days and rent must be unpaid

CAUTION: If the unit is LOADED with items and you think the tenant may be in jail, a mental hospital, or they might come back, you are safer giving a 3 Day Notice and filing an eviction.

If there is any sign that someone is sleeping there at night or coming in or out, IT IS NOT AN ABANDONED UNIT
