I've been a small landlord in Pinellas County for 22 years. This is the first online lease tool I've used that actually reads like the Florida Bar form my attorney would have drafted — and it took nine minutes instead of a $400 invoice.

Questions, answered

The small print.

Yes. Florida Lease is built and maintained by a small independent group of Floridians. There is no paywall, no credit card required, and we do not sell your data. Ever.
The template is modeled directly on the Florida Bar's approved residential lease forms and includes every disclosure required under Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes. We're not attorneys and this isn't legal advice — read it carefully, and consult a lawyer if your situation is unusual.
Your lease draft is stored in your browser only — we never see it. When you download your PDF, the draft is cleared. If you want to save progress, we send you a resume-link to your email; the draft itself stays on your device.
Not yet. This tool is specifically for residential leases (single-family homes, duplexes, apartments). Commercial leases have different statutory requirements and we don't want to mislead anyone.
An independent group of Florida residents — designers, developers, and landlords ourselves — who got tired of paying $400 for a template. No lawyers, no law firm, no affiliation with the state.
