<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Brenda/Committee:<div><br></div><div>Did the problem study committee take a look at how other states are addressing E-Signing commercial leases/waiving witness requirements? Tenants are often dealing with out-of-state companies who own property within the state. While out-of-state landlords often hire local counsel to negotiate the lease, sometimes landlords like to use their own proprietary forms. If other states are moving towards allowing electronic signatures, it would be a good idea to address this issue in Florida sooner rather than later.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, many real estate transaction management software companies are equipped with the software to conduct electronic signatures in compliance with <span class="" id=":g7h.1" tabindex="-1" style="">UETA</span>/<span class="" id=":g7h.2" tabindex="-1" style="">Esign</span> Act. If the technology is in place to ensure signatures are tracked, I think moving forward with legislation to support electronic transactions is appropriate. <br><br>Thanks!</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif;color:black">Kristen King <span class="" id=":g7h.3" tabindex="-1" style="">Jaiven</span>, Esq.</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif;color:black">General Counsel</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif;color:black">The Signature Real Estate Companies </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">901-C Clint Moore Road</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span class="" id=":g7h.4" tabindex="-1" style="">Boca</span> <span class="" id=":g7h.5" tabindex="-1" style="">Raton</span>, FL 33487</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span class="" id=":g7h.6" tabindex="-1" style="">Ph</span>: 561.705.0140</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Direct Line: 561-300-6921</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Email: <a href="mailto:Kristen@quadcompanies.com" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">Kristen@<span class="" id=":g7h.7" tabindex="-1" style="">quadcompanies</span>.com</span></a></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:blue"><a href="http://www.signaturerealestatecompanies.com/" target="_blank">www.<span class="" id=":g7h.8" tabindex="-1" style="">SignatureRealEstateCompanies</span>.com</a></span></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></p></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 9, 2019 at 11:56 AM Brenda <span class="" id=":g7h.9" tabindex="-1" style="">Ezell</span> <<span class="" id=":g7h.10" tabindex="-1" style="">brenda</span>@<span class="" id=":g7h.11" tabindex="-1" style="">ezellfirmpa</span>.com> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
