RE attorney in FL to draft lease agreement for LTR
I have a SF LTR coming on the market in a few months in FL. I'm having a property management company manage it for me
How good is the average PM company lease? It is worth it to hire a RE attorney draft it instead?
What issues should I be looking out for here?
Any recommendations on a great PM company or attorney in Southwest FL?

Hi Aaron, as a Florida attorney myself, I can say that a lease agreement is the one document you don't want try to save a few bucks on. The time and money you put into your lease agreement will be worthwhile when you realize how many headaches you avoided by having a solid document in place. Having said that, a good starting point for a sample lease would be the Florida Bar: https://www.floridabar.org/pub...
You can compare this lease with whatever lease your PM companies gives you to get an idea of what terms you want to make sure are included. Nevertheless, having an attorney review your lease and address your specific concerns is ideal. You can find a list of attorneys in your area on the Florida bar website: https://www.floridabar.org/dir... or doing a search on some of the review sites, like AVVO.com
Hope that helps!
