Ryan S. Shipp, Esquire here, from 954 Eviction Attorneys. Do you need to enter your residential property for repairs or inspections or show your property to be sold?
Pursuant to 83.53 of the Florida Statutes, Florida law says you must give reasonable notice to your tenant, defined as at least 24 hours advance notice, and only enter between 7:30am and 8:00pm however, there are limited exceptions for like emergencies, flooding or fire, but for routine maintenance, inspections or property showings, the 24 hour rule applies.
Document your notice, whether it’s in writing, by email or hand delivery, and always keep a log. Violating the entry rules can expose you to claims of harassment or unlawful entry. That’s why we recommend updating your lease with clear entry provisions that mirror Florida law. If you need help drafting compliant entry language or handling disputes, call 954 Eviction Attorneys today at 954.323.2529. We have offices in Palm Beach and Broward Counties.
