Florida law, referenced
Clauses drawn from Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes.
The lease is drawn from the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II) and includes the radon notice and a lead-paint warning for older homes. A separate flood disclosure builder covers terms of a year or longer. Some federal steps, such as the lead pamphlet, are still yours to complete. The full statutes govern your actual rights and obligations — this tool does not replace reading them.
Not legal advice. For a specific situation, consult a Florida-licensed attorney.
§ 83.49
Security Deposits
Landlord has 15 days to return the deposit, or 30 days if sending a written notice of claim.
§ 404.056
Radon Disclosure
Florida rental paperwork must carry the state radon gas notice. The lease includes it.
§ 83.51
Habitability
Landlord must maintain the premises in compliance with applicable building, housing, and health codes.
§ 83.53
Access to Premises
For repairs, 24 hours' notice is reasonable notice, and entry should be between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Emergencies and protecting the property need no notice.
§ 83.575
Term Renewal Notice
A fixed-term lease may require advance written notice before the term ends. The notice period must be between 30 and 60 days, and it applies to both landlord and tenant.
42 USC 4852d
Lead-Based Paint
Federal rule for homes built before 1978. The lease adds the warning statement; you must also give the tenant the EPA pamphlet and disclosure form.
§ 83.512
Flood Disclosure
Leases of one year or longer need a flood disclosure at or before signing, as a document separate from the lease. We have a builder for it.
§ 83.50
Landlord Contact
The tenant must be told in writing who manages the property and receives notices, and where. The lease includes it.

“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.”
