The General Counsel for Property Management
We understand that each property management company is unique. You face many legal issues whether you manage one building or an entire portfolio of properties in Tampa, and beyond. These range from tenant relations to city code enforcement to transactional concerns.
Our general counsel services include:
- Lease Negotiation and Drafting
- Tenant Dispute Resolution
- Eviction and Representation
- Purchase and Sale Agreements for Property
- Zoning and Licensing Regulations
- Fair Housing Compliance
- Limitation of Liability and Risk Management Strategies
We will work with you to anticipate your legal issues and help you resolve them effectively.
Drafting and Negotiating Solid Lease Agreements
The foundation of any successful property management or rental operation is a well-drafted lease. This document not only protects you legally but also sets out clear expectations for both you and your tenant.
We will:
- Create customized lease agreements for commercial and residential tenants
- Include clauses for late fees, security deposits, maintenance obligations, and termination clauses
- Make sure your leases are compliant with Florida landlord-tenant law and federal housing regulations
- Negotiate lease terms with potential tenants, vendors or co-owners
Our team can also help you with lease updates and addendums, allowing you to adapt your agreement as the law changes or your needs change.
Zoning, Code Compliance & Government Regulations
Verifying local zoning laws, permit requirements, and code enforcement regulations can be a difficult and time-consuming task, yet their ignorance could cost you dearly. Tampa City Building codes and city regulations change constantly with each year that passes in this Bay Area city.
Our legal team assists property managers:
- Understand and adhere to zoning laws, use restrictions, and other regulations
- Code enforcement or citations: How to navigate them
- Permits and Licenses Required
- Response to government inspections and challenges
- Commercial spaces must comply with ADA regulations
We make sure your property meets compliance requirements to avoid fines, penalties, and forced closings.
Mitigating Risk and Limiting Liability
Every day, property managers are exposed to significant legal liabilities – from slip-and-fall incidents to discrimination lawsuits. Our attorneys can help you manage risks and reduce your exposure.
- Drafting strong vendor agreements and contractor contracts
- Structure your business using the right legal entities (e.g. LLCs)
- Ensure you have adequate insurance coverage
- Setting up maintenance and safety policies
- Training and policy reviews on fair housing compliance are available
We can help you create a solid foundation for your business so that you don’t have to worry about legal issues.
