The restrictions, which could arise from various sources, including the type of procurement used fo form the lease, may limit the use of the property to aviation, avionics, and support services for aviation and avionics. <div><br></div><div>Best to all,</div><div><br></div><div>Deb<br><div><br></div><div><div>

the public record. My recollection is that I carefully drafted it
to insure that the interest lien'd was no more than the interest the
tenant held by a recorded lease. <br>
<br>
As I think others have pointed out, it is fortunate that we never
had to actually secure payment for the work by foreclosing the
lien. We never considered it particularly likely that foreclosing
and putting that interest up for public sale would actually
accomplish the goal of payment to the contractor. However,
recording it and furnishing copies to the interested parties as
required by the statute did seem motivational to the developer.<br>

The lessee contracted for the improvements which were required

Section 8.3 of the Fla. Prac. Construction Law Manual which
states in the first paragraph, in part: “However, there may be
private leasehold interests on governmental property that are
