RIGHT TO INSPECT AND RIGHT TO ENTER – LANDLORD AND TENANT LAW

REAL ESTATE LAWYER – LANDLORD TENANT LAW

Florida Statutes provide the landlord with the right to inspect the property for any emergency reason whether its a leak, a fire, or anything that could place the property or the tenant in peril. Many residential and commercial leases to rent include language that sets out how and why the Landlord can enter the property, for either (i) inspection (ii) repairs (iii) emergency and if they feel you have abandoned the property, to protect their property from harm. If the Lease is silent, then Florida Statutes steps in and provides the protection for the Landlord.

Many tenants, however, do not want the landlord coming into their property to inspect or repair, and prohibit the Landlord from entering or accessing the property. This is strictly prohibited and could place the tenant in breach of contract.

The landlord must provide notice if coming to inspect. Typically it is 24 hours notice. However, the lease may provide for a different time frame. The landlord can also go in with their agents or workers in order to access the property for repairs or maintenance.

However, they dont have the right to harrass you or go in repeatedly just to annoy the tenant. There must be a valid reason.

DUE DILIGENCE IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS IN SOUTH FLORIDA

DUE DILIGENCE IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Almost all commercial transactions in Florida, whether selling commercial real estate, assets, or real estate with a company, carry with it a Due Diligence period.  Due Diligence on Commercial Real Estate Transactions in Miami is the period of time the buyer, acting in conjunction with their real estate attorney, has to inspect the books and records of the selling company.

Both the Purchaser and the Seller hold certain responsibilities with regard to Due Diligence in Commercial Transactions.

BUYER DUE DILIGENCE

The Buyer’s Due Diligence may include the following:

  • Performance of Physical Inspections of  real property;
  • Mold Inspections;
  • Appliance, Equipment and Machinery Equipment;
  • Review of Sellers books if sale of business is included;
  • If health or food industry, contacting DERM to make sure business or property have no violations that would pass to the new buyer;
  • Lien searches to check for any open liens, violations, code enforcement or building and zoning violations;
  • Title and zoning review to make sure no exception will preclude the buyer from obtaining clear title;
  • Reviewing of any Leases or Assignments of Leases;
  • Inspections of inventory;
  • Fire system inspections
  • Lead Based Paint concerns;
  • Asbestos concerns;
  • ADA Compliance for business

SELLER DUE DILIGENCE

  • Making sure all inspections are coordinated;
  • Making sure all company financial records are provided to buyer, including company records, tax returns, vendor list, client list and any maintenance and utility bills;
  • Seller should disclose whether there is any pending litigation;
  • Making sure any procedures agreed to in the contract are adhered to.

Rather then rushing into a commercial deal that involves due diligence, have a real estate attorney review your contract prior to signing. This will insure that you are protected in commercial real estate transactions.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA, we are keenly aware of the requirements for commercial real estate transactions and due diligence requirements and deadlines in these commercial real estate transactions.  Don’t delay!  It is imperative that you hire a real estate attorney before you sign any commercial real estate contract.   Allow my team of attorneys and accountants to go to work for you, and advise you before you enter into the Commercial Contract.
