Amended Supreme Court approved forms to be filed.

The Board of Governors of The Florida Bar hereby gives notice of filing with the Supreme Court of Florida, on or about February 1, a petition to amend certain Supreme Court Approved Forms. The amended forms are the 2000 version of the Residential Lease for Single Family Home and Duplex (for a term not to exceed one year), the Residential Lease for Apartment or Unit in Multi-Family Rental Housing (Other Than A Duplex) Including a Mobile Home (for a term not to exceed one year) and residential landlord-tenant eviction forms. The amendments primarily reflect statutory changes adopted since the forms were last amended. In addition, The Florida Bar is recommending that the Residential Lease for Unit in Condominium or Cooperative (for a term not to exceed one year) be deleted as it is being combined with the Multi-Family lease and that the 1992 version of the Residential Lease for Single Family Home and Duplex (for a term not to exceed one year) be deleted.

A copy of the forms may be found at www.floridabar.org/rulesupdates. You may also request a copy of the forms by contacting the UPL Department, The Florida Bar, 651 East Jefferson St., Tallahassee 32399-2300 or calling [phone].

Members who desire to comment on these proposed amendments may do so within 30 days of the filing of the Bar's petition. Comments should be filed directly with the clerk of the Supreme Court of Florida, and a copy must be served on the executive director of The Florida Bar.
