Greetings to all. We will soon begin the 2009-2010 year for the Landlord/Tenant Committee of the Florida Bar's Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section. The Committee will meet in conjunction with the upcoming RPPTL's Executive Council meeting to be held at The Breakers in Palm Beach on July 30th, 10 a.m. to Noon. Exact location (for anyone attending in person) and conference call phone information will be provided in advance of the meeting. We are scheduled to have a telephonic presentation from attorney Frank Mayer of Pepper Hamilton in Philadelphia on the topic of insurance certificates. I am pleased to announce that Scott Frank and Jo Claire Spear will be our Committee Co-Vice Chairs this year as I move into the Chair position. It is with sincere appreciation that I thank the outgoing Chair, Art Menor, for all of his hard work and mentoring. Art has served this Committee over many years with quality leadership and great diligence (I know Art will continue to be a valuable contributing member of the Committee). Art takes on a new role as Co-Vice Chair of the RPPTL Section's Real Estate Certification Review Course Committee. Thanks also goes out to those of you who participated in our meetings and subcommittee work during the past year. Your efforts have been recognized by our Section. In the past year we have: -- Reviewed numerous bills and legislative proposals, including various proposals dealing with the protection of tenants in the event of foreclosure, and our subcommittee has provided guidance to the Real Property Section in a thoughtful and prompt manner. Special thanks to Scott Frank and his legislative subcommittee for their hard work. -- Had informative presentations from Marsha Rydberg (on bankruptcy issues), Scott Dibbs (on estoppels and SNDAs), and Tim Martin (Director of Development for Bonefish Grill restaurants). -- Prepared and submitted revisions to Florida Supreme Court approved residential lease forms and pro se Landlord/Tenant Litigation forms. -- Engaged in informative discussions about topics and cases of interest to landlord/tenant law practitioners. I look forward to your continuing participation and working with you on our Committee during the upcoming year. Best Regards, Neil Shoter 2009-2010 Chair Neil B.
