A fillable residential lease for Florida rentals

Florida Statutes section 83.49 requires a residential security deposit to be held in a separate account and the tenant to be told which account, whether it bears interest and at what rate. The clause here states that the deposit is held separately, which is the fact the tenant is entitled to know.

If you hold deposits in an interest-bearing account, say so in the notes field so the printed lease matches the account records you keep.

A landlord who intends to keep part of a deposit must give the tenant written notice of the claim within thirty days of the tenant vacating, and the lease should say so plainly. A tenant who reads that clause knows the clock and knows what a valid notice looks like.

The obligation cuts both ways: the tenant must give a forwarding address for the balance to reach them. Both expectations belong in the same paragraph, and both are here.

Florida humidity is a maintenance issue that becomes a legal one when nobody reports it. The lease asks the tenant to keep the premises dry, run air conditioning as needed and report leaks or moisture in writing without delay.

That single clause prevents the argument that a tenant watched a leak spread for a month without mentioning it, and it gives a landlord a fair basis for treating a reported problem promptly.

Fill the landlord and premises details, tenant names, term, rent and deposit, then preview. Pages flow onto a second sheet on their own when the content runs long, so nothing spills into the margin or overlaps the footer.

Add the move-in checklist and pet addendum from DocPacker and every document in the packet shares one page size, one typeface and one set of margins. Print at actual size, and the file matches the paper exactly.
