Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Hello I have/had a Tenant who moved in my Property, Single Family Home, four years ago. For the first two years we had a Lease Agreement signed by both parties. After the second year we didn't write up a Agreement and both parties felt okay with it. 30 Days ago I had to terminate the Lease agreement and gave my Tenant written notice. My Tenant found fairly soon a new place and started moving out. In our Last meeting my Tenant stated that they would have the house professional cleaned after they moved out and I had only to do the painting.
Our first two leases state that, quote "Tenant need to fill/fix holes and repaint the whole interior walls with the original paint, after moving out". I made my Tenant aware of that clause and she emailed me that she has already somebody looking at it.
Today I discovered that there will be no cleaning nor painting. The Tenant states we don't have a contract anymore and she doesn't have to do anything.
I have a Deposit and her last Rent which will not cover the damage/work.
It is my Opinion that we still have a lease. I feel that our Original Agreements are still valid and the only thing what changed are the Terms. From being a one year lease it changed into a month to month lease.
Getting some input from outside would be very much appreciated.

RE: Month to Month Lease
Does your lease state that if not renewed it goes to a month to month with same provisions? Most from here have that in as standard. I would say the only change in lease is the term of the lease not the content.

RE: Month to Month Lease
No my lease doesn't state this kind of clause. It is a pretty simple FARBAR (Florida Association of Realtors) Form.

Thanks for your input. I was hoping there would be somebody on this Forum who might be familiar with the Florida Lease law......it's still early....and I'm still hoping.
