tenant not signing lease FL

[Account Closed]

I provided the tenant with a lease over 9 days ago and have reached out twice since  then asking about them signing it. If the tenant is unwilling to sign the lease in FL- does that mean we are on a month-to-month basis?

I think the tenant is upset I put my foot down about a few items after the walk through- including removing items they installed without asking in the home- so I think the tenant is trying to be passive agressive. But I just wanted to know what the implications are. thanks

@Account Closed It sounds like these are exiting tenants and they are not signing a new lease. Not a problem, here's what you need to do.

1. Send them notice that you withdraw the new lease, it's now null and void.

2. Find out what Fl legal requirements are and send them a Non-renewal notice.

If this is a lease that's about to end, that's when they must be out. If it's M2M you may be looking at end of Aug or Sept, all depending on FL law.

Don't ever allow any tenants to walk all over you. Always set hard deadlines for when anything is to be done and don't back track on them. Good luck.
