I'm no expert on Florida contractor license law but from what I've read statute 489.533 covers abandonment.

As far as I can tell, there is no statute regarding entry by a landlord.

Due to the statute of limitation laws, time to participate in the OBAMA HOMEOWNER AFFORDABILITY AND STABILITY PLAN is very limited.
