Landlords' Rights & Duties in Florida

I managed to use this book with a little guidance from the courthouse to evict someone from the start to finish. More of a guide since every county is different in Florida.

I have been practicing landlord tenant law in Florida for seven years and this book is the best and most accurate summary of landlord-tenant law that I have seen (excepting the four volume series by Hauser, $325.00 from Lexis Publishing). Florida Landlords' Rights and Duties has twelve chapters dealing with the typical sources of lanldord-tenant conflict. The book specifically covers the eviction process from start to finish and contains all of the forms a do-it-yourself landlord will need to perform their own eviction. You can also contact the author to get all the forms in the book on CD Rom. If you are a Florida landlord, you must own this book.

I was pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information contained in this book. Its written in easy to understand language and covers just about everything you need to know about renting property in Florida. Thoroughly discusses applicable Florida statutes, includes case references and supplies various legal forms. I wouldn't feel comfortable handling my own rentals in Florida without this book.

Concise and logically formatted this is a great book for rental property owners in Florida. Complete with case law notes and examples the book is really helpful in accomplishing most actions a landlord will have to undertake. The forms are handy as well and will keep you from having to buy a legal forms program or from having to run to the county clerks office.

After purchasing this book by Attorney Mark Warda, I have found his insight into the real estate laws of Florida invaluable. The easy to read format of the book along with the flowcharts and associated legal forms makes owning rental property less stressful. Common legal problems that a landlord encounters are addressed. A "must get" for the do-it-yourself landlord.
