If you need to evict the tenant for non-payment of rent, the court process will be much faster. The court procedure for eviction and defense is very well defined and the clerks and the judges are all familiar with it. Therefore, I would leave the arbitration clause out.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Arbitration Clauses in Commercial Lease?
A prospective client (out of state commercial office building owner) has asked me to review and comment on the form of lease used for its Florida buildings.
The Lease has a pretty normal looking default and remedies clause. It also has an arbitration clause, saying that disputes are to be resolved through AAA arbitration.
What do you guys this about this (I'm not disclosing my personal bias, but those of you that know me probably know my take on this)?
Thanks for your comments.
