Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Termination of a commercial lease

I have a commercial lease agreement (as a landlord) for a warehouse that was signed by the previous manager of my company. The agreement is for a term of 3 years. It was initially signed on October 2000 until october 2003. In october 2003 we were in the middle of a change of administration and did not realize that the agreement ended. It turns out that the tenants are paying an extremely low rent and I want to terminate the agreement. Is there anything I can do immediately? When Can I take action?

Your rights depend on the lease. You need to contact an attorney in your area and review the lease together to determine the best course of action. The tenant may only be month to month or the lease may have automatically renewed.
