Good afternoon everyone. Attached is a draft article which discusses the change to Florida Statutes 689.01 to remove the witness requirement for leases which is presented for our review and comments prior to submission for publication in the Florida Bar Journal. The Florida Bar Journal publication committee is interested in any comments relating to any potential substantive issues or general value for publication and has asked for feedback by the end of this week so your prompt response is appreciated.

Thank you!

Brenda

Best regards,

Dear Ms. Ezell,

This is a very well written postmortem. (I did not review the cases cited because they would be only of historical interest, and no longer of precedential value, in light of the statutory revision.)

The second paragraph (and fn3) differ from what was in the white paper that the section had put out, which said that some would argue that the statute did require witnesses to the tenant's signature:
