A lease, like any contract, is binding on full execution and delivery to
both parties.  No execution, no contract.

 

I believe that you cannot "forfeit" a security deposit in Florida.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Agreement to Enter Into a Lease

 

Question for my residential colleagues:

 

If tenant signs Agreement to Enter into a Lease, and then changes his mind
before signing the actual lease, is he entitled to return of the deposit?
The standard form seems to say no, but I am just wondering if anyone has any
insight.

 

Thanks.
