[RPPTL LandTen] Assistance Needed re: Comments on House and Senate Bills

[David Weisman]

Rick:

As to HB169, I am not comfortable with the concept that the owner must declare himself in default. The wording which states that if the loan is is arrears more than 60 days seems to require that. Could the language provide a standard such as upon receipt of a notice of default beyond the applicable grace period, the owner must advise the tenant?

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Assistance Needed re: Comments on House and Senate Bills

Good morning committee members.  We have been asked to comment upon proposed changes to Part II of Chapter 83, FS (residential leases) and Chapter 723, FS (mobile home parks).    As to Chapter 83, attached HB 77 amends the statute re: award of atty fees, eviction actions, and handling of deposits under residential leases, and HB 169 requires landlords to notify tenants if their property is in foreclosure.    As to Chapter 723, attached SBs 104 and 106 amend language pertaining to the sale of mobile home parks and lease of a mobile home park.

I would greatly appreciate anyone practicing in these areas to review the proposed changes and provide draft comments.  This should not require a significant amount of time.  Please let me know if you can help.  Thank you, Rick
