Florida Realestate Law
I have read the Landlord Tenant Act but failed to find exactly where the requirements for disclosure of all material facts which induced a tenant to sign a lease agreement on a ”leased property”. Could you help?

  1. Re: Florida Realestate Law
    To my knowledge, the Florida Landlord Tenant Statutues, which can be found here http://www.flsenate.gov/STATUTES/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0083/PART02.HTM

    do not expressly require Landlord to “disclose all material facts which induced a tenant to sign a lease.”

    I am not sure where you came up with that language. Was it in your lease?

    Generally speaking, Florida Law (case law, not statute) would provide you a cause of action if you could show that your Landlord fraudulently induced you into signing a lease by deceit or lying about material facts regarding the leased property. Your action would be “fraud in the inducement”, or, if your lease provides that Landlord must disclose something he did not, you might have a breach of contract claim as well.

    Again, this is hypothetical and an attorney would need to carefully review your lease and know all the details to give you specific advice to your matter.
