Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
florida lease term
a friend of mine rented a house and wanted a two year lease. her landlord told her that it was illegal in florida to have a lease for longer than one year. currently i have a lease for a year and a half. i was wondering if this lease is null and void. thank you for your help with this situation.
