Landlord/Tenant Disputes – Landlord Representation
Florida’s landlord/tenant laws have evolved significantly, creating a complex legal landscape that can be difficult to navigate without experienced counsel. These laws often favor the landlord, but they must be properly understood and applied. At Rosales Lopez, we proudly advocate for landlords—ensuring their rights are enforced, their properties are protected, and their rental businesses run smoothly.
Evictions
Evictions are among the most urgent legal matters landlords face. Whether a tenant has failed to pay rent, violated a lease term, or refuses to vacate the premises, we help landlords comply with Florida’s strict procedural requirements. Our attorneys guide clients from the initial notice to final judgment, ensuring quick, lawful, and effective resolution. With time and revenue on the line, we prioritize swift action and legal precision.
Security Deposit Disputes
Security deposits are a common source of post-tenancy conflict. Florida law governs how and when landlords may withhold these funds. We assist landlords with preparing compliant notices, documenting property conditions, and resolving disputes efficiently. Our goal is to preserve your rights while minimizing exposure to liability.
Lease Drafting and Enforcement
A thoughtfully crafted lease agreement is a landlord’s strongest tool for avoiding future disputes. We work closely with landlords to develop clear, enforceable lease terms for both residential and commercial properties. Should a dispute arise, we are prepared to enforce those terms in court.
Other Disputes and Legal Concerns
Whether dealing with property damage, unauthorized occupants, or HOA conflicts, landlords face a range of legal issues. Our experienced attorneys provide practical guidance and strategic solutions to protect your investments and minimize risk.
If you are a landlord seeking to resolve a dispute or enhance your legal protections, contact Rosales Lopez today. We are ready to advocate for your rights and support your business.
Landlord/Tenant Disputes – Tenant Representation
Tenants in Florida are granted important legal protections, but enforcing those rights often requires the help of experienced legal counsel. At Rosales Lopez, we are committed to helping tenants understand and assert their rights in the face of disputes, evictions, or unsafe housing conditions.
Wrongful Evictions
Although landlords can evict tenants for legal reasons, they must strictly follow Florida’s procedures. Unlawful evictions—such as locking out a tenant or shutting off utilities—are prohibited and can carry severe consequences. We defend tenants against wrongful evictions and ensure due process is followed.
Security Deposit Recovery
Many tenants face challenges recovering their security deposits after moving out. We help tenants hold landlords accountable when deposits are unfairly withheld or when proper notice and accounting are not provided under Florida law.
Habitability and Unsafe Conditions
Tenants have the right to safe, livable housing. If your rental unit has serious issues such as mold, pest infestations, or structural problems, we can help you assert your right to repairs or even terminate your lease under Florida’s tenant protection laws.
