Disputes between landlords and tenants can affect not only your finances, but your home, business, or investment property. Whether you are a landlord seeking to remove a nonpaying or noncompliant tenant, or a tenant facing eviction or unaddressed living conditions, navigating Florida's landlord–tenant laws can be complex.
Karan Law assists both landlords and tenants in residential and commercial matters, helping clients understand their rights and obligations, comply with legal procedures, and resolve disputes efficiently—inside or outside the courtroom.
Owning and managing rental property comes with legal responsibilities, and failing to follow Florida’s procedures can result in costly delays or dismissed eviction actions. We represent landlords in a variety of matters, including:
Evictions: For nonpayment of rent, lease violations, holdover tenants, or other breaches. We handle everything from drafting and serving the required notices to filing complaints and appearing in court.
Lease Enforcement: When tenants fail to comply with lease terms, we help landlords enforce the agreement through proper legal channels.
Security Deposit Disputes: We advise landlords on how to document and retain deposits in accordance with Florida law and defend claims of wrongful withholding.
Lease Drafting and Review: We help landlords draft clear, enforceable leases that comply with current Florida statutes and help prevent future disputes.
Habitability and Maintenance Claims: If a tenant raises claims about the condition of the premises, we provide guidance to address the issue while minimizing liability.
Our goal is to help landlords resolve problems quickly and lawfully—so they can protect their investments and move forward without unnecessary disruption.
Tenants have important legal protections under Florida law, including the right to notice, habitable living conditions, and legal process before eviction. We represent tenants in a variety of matters, such as:
Eviction Defense: If you’ve received an eviction notice, we can help you understand your rights and defenses. In many cases, there may be procedural errors, unresolved repair issues, or other legal defenses that can affect the outcome.
Unsafe Living Conditions: If your landlord has failed to address repairs or conditions that affect your health or safety, you may have remedies under Florida’s warranty of habitability.
Security Deposit Disputes: If your landlord has wrongfully withheld your security deposit, we can help you pursue recovery.
Lease Disputes and Early Termination: We assist tenants in navigating lease disputes, questions of responsibility for damage or rent, and options for terminating a lease early.
Retaliation and Harassment Claims: If a landlord is taking adverse action against you for asserting your rights (such as reporting code violations or requesting repairs), we can help you assess your legal options.
Each case depends on the facts and applicable law. We do not make promises or guarantees, but we are committed to helping tenants understand their rights and pursue fair and lawful outcomes.
In addition to residential landlord–tenant matters, we assist clients with commercial leasing disputes, including issues involving business tenants, lease enforcement, property damage, and default. Commercial evictions require strict compliance with Florida law, and we help landlords and business owners resolve disputes quickly to limit business interruption.
Landlord–tenant disputes often involve strict deadlines and detailed procedures. Whether you're filing an eviction or responding to one, having experienced legal guidance can help avoid costly mistakes and protect your legal position. Our firm provides practical, solution-oriented counsel tailored to your situation.
