Florida lease FAQ

Does Florida cap security deposits?

Florida sets no statutory maximum on the deposit, and it must be returned within 15–30 days. The template states both in the deposit clause.

What late fee can a Florida landlord charge?

No statutory cap; must be in the lease The template carries the rule and the grace period you set.

Is a lead-paint disclosure required?

For any building built before 1978, yes — it is federal (42 U.S.C. § 4852d). The template includes the EPA pamphlet acknowledgment automatically.

Is this lease legally binding once e-signed?

Yes. Electronic signatures are valid under the federal E-SIGN Act and Florida's UETA; the signed PDF, audit trail and timestamps are stored with the tenant record.

Can I edit the template?

Every paragraph is editable before signing. Clauses Florida requires are marked and cannot be removed by accident.
