<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">Although our Firm is strictly residential I saw that the service of the “landlord’s notice” was “two postal days”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>two postal days after deposit in the U.S. mails by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the tenant at the tenant's last known address</u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">Likewise, for the tenant notice to the landlord.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>two postal days after deposit in the U.S. mails by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address that landlord provided for such purpose in the notice of belief of abandonment.</u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I was wondering if the term “postal days” is going to give you trouble. Our clients constantly forget not to count or don’t remember the “legal holidays” as defined in Part II in calculating
3Day Notices. Will the unrepresented commercial landlord do the same with “postal days” in calculating when the tenant’s 15 days runs?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#1F497D;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">My experience is that the USPO can’t be relied on for two-day certified mail delivery. I realize that the idea is to accelerate the time frame of abandonment. I would think that a commercial
landlord would use overnight delivery to accelerate, assuming the tenant is dodging hand delivery. If the USPO is the service of last resort, consider using the convention with which the judges are familiar – 5 days (not postal days) for mail, even if it
is certified, return receipt. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D">Lastly, don’t get me wrong. I represent landlords, so support whatever can be done to accelerate possession of the premises and removal of tenant property
That said, will a court have a due process issue by requiring a tenant to give a legally binding address for service of process in order to protect his rights to his own property. Would this be viewed as the landlord bettering his position under the threat
of a statutorily protected abandonment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Art Menor sent the Leasing Committee a California legislative history and California Assemble legislation deals with abandonment of commercial property. The California
legislation allows a landlord of commercial property to give notice of belief of abandonment where the rent has been due and unpaid for at least the number of days required for the landlord to declare tenant default under the terms of the lease, but in no
case less than three days<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Art asked that we look at the California legislation and see if can be addressed in Sect 83.05. The sub- committee has looked at it and drafted language appropriate to
Florida. Sect 83.05 has been left intact and the new language has been added.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The new language would benefit commercial landlords in that it would allow a landlord to take possession of the property sooner and give certainty to whether the property
has been abandoned. Please review and comments are welcome. Thanks. Arlene<o:p></o:p></span></p>
