We are committed to the management duties and responsbility of keeping every home we manage in good condition.  Our tenants and owners count on it and the state laws require it.  To reach this goal, our owners can establish a schedule or request a property inspection anytime.  Our recommendation is every 3 months. 

The Florida Landlord and Tenant laws allow our office, the owner or any person we authorize to enter the premises conditioned that we provide the tenant a 12hr notice of our intention to enter.  You can reference:

 83.53  Landlord's access to dwelling unit.--

(1)  The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter the dwelling unit from time to time in order to inspect the premises; make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements; supply agreed services; or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors.

(2)  The landlord may enter the dwelling unit at any time for the protection or preservation of the premises. The landlord may enter the dwelling unit upon reasonable notice to the tenant and at a reasonable time for the purpose of repair of the premises. "Reasonable notice" for the purpose of repair is notice given at least 12 hours prior to the entry, and reasonable time for the purpose of repair shall be between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The landlord may enter the dwelling unit when necessary for the further purposes set forth in subsection (1) under any of the following circumstances:

(a)  With the consent of the tenant;

(b)  In case of emergency;

(c)  When the tenant unreasonably withholds consent;

Our procedure is to cooperate when possible with the tenant to give them more than the required notice and to further limit the time period that we will make entry.  While the tenant does not have to be present for us to make entry, our goal is to provide them that opportunity.
