[RPPTL LandTen] 2-year residential lease

[Anthony J. Horky]

All:  Any insight on the following fact pattern will be greatly appreciated.

 

A landlord and tenant enter into a 2-year residential lease agreement.  The
provision covering defaults is the same language that is used in the Fla.
Supreme Court approved lease provision which refers the parties to Chapter
83, Part II, a copy of which is included with the 2-year lease.  Tenant
breaches the lease for non-payment of rent.  

 

QUESTION:  Can the landlord file an action for possession under the FRLTA or
does the fact that a "tenant" means a person entitled to occupy a dwelling
unit under a "rental agreement" and "rental agreement" under Part II is
defined as a agreement for a duration of less than one year, prevent the
landlord from bringing an eviction action and/or proceeding under the
summary procedure statute?

 

Thank you for your comments and input.

 

Regards,
