How about:
"Technical deficiencies in the three day notice which do not result in an inaccurate demand for rent shall not be a basis for dismissal of an action for eviction."

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Review of Part 2, Section 83 Residential Landlord/Tenant Act.


Dear Members, I have been contacted by the Policy Chair for the Florida House of Representatives, Civil Justice Subcommittee.  Apparently, there is interest by the Florida legislature this year to comprehensively review Part 2 of Section 83, the Residential Landlord/Tenant Act.   I am told that this is not being promoted by any particular constituency, but rather was on a list of issues pending for a while and has now been picked for this year's session.  We have been asked to provide our input on improvements to Part II by mid-August with the intention that suggested changes to the Statute would be put into a draft proposal by Mid-November for vote in February.   This is obviously a short time frame.

I am told that there are no specific issues of concern to State leadership with Part 2, but that they would like to see simplification of lease and deposit disclosures, and perhaps a re-write of the maintenance statute, which reads poorly.

If you practice in the Residential lease area and would like to give input via a Subcommittee on this matter, please email me directly as soon as possible.  If you wish to submit specific issues and edits to Part 2 to be passed on to Tallahassee, you may also email those suggestions directly to me.    Thank you.

Neil Shoter, Chair
