Fort Lauderdale Commercial Landlord-Tenant Litigation Attorneys 

Rosenthal Law Group is a firm of experienced litigators who handle evictions and other commercial property disputes. If you own a commercial property where a tenant has breached the terms of your lease, we can help you pursue immediate solutions such as eviction and other legal actions to recover what a tenant owes you.

With more than 50 combined years of experience handling litigation in landlord-tenant disputes, our firm has what it takes to develop a personalized legal strategy to help you accomplish your goals. Although we generally assist landlords in disputes, we may be inclined to assist commercial tenants under certain circumstances, such as the absence of a conflict of interest with an existing landlord client. 

In South Florida’s competitive commercial real estate market, even a single problem tenant can disrupt cash flow, affect financing covenants, and jeopardize relationships with other tenants in the building or center. We understand that landlords in Broward and Miami-Dade are often balancing multiple locations, lenders, and investors, so delays in enforcing a commercial lease can quickly become business problems, not just legal ones. When you contact us, we look at the full picture—how the dispute fits into your overall portfolio, what outcome you need from the property, and how to move efficiently through Florida’s commercial eviction and litigation process.

Many of our commercial landlord clients come to us before a dispute has fully escalated because they want guidance on the timing and content of default notices, the risks of accepting partial payments, or the impact of negotiating short-term concessions. By getting involved early, we can often help preserve leverage, avoid unintentional waivers, and position the matter for a faster resolution—whether that means a negotiated workout or a focused lawsuit in Broward County or Miami-Dade County courts.

How Our Commercial Landlord Tenant Lawyers In Fort Lauderdale Can Help You

We primarily offer our services to commercial landlords and property owners who need quick resolution to a dispute involving one or more of their tenants. The attorneys at Rosenthal Law Group understand your property represents your livelihood, and we will all passionately pursue your interest in protecting what is important to you.

Because we are a business-focused litigation firm, we approach every commercial lease dispute as a business problem that needs a clear, practical strategy. At the outset, we review the lease and related documents, gather a timeline of events, and identify any immediate steps needed to preserve your rights, such as issuing default notices, documenting conditions at the premises, or securing guarantor information. We then discuss with you what a realistic, favorable outcome looks like—whether that is removing the tenant as quickly as possible, collecting past-due amounts, keeping a long-term tenant in place under new terms, or protecting a redevelopment or sale.

Our clients range from individual building owners to regional shopping center operators and out-of-state investors with properties in Fort Lauderdale and the greater South Florida area. For each, we tailor the level of involvement to their needs: some prefer to be deeply involved in every decision, while others rely on us to manage day-to-day communications with tenants, opposing counsel, and property managers. In either case, we focus on efficiency—coordinating with your internal team, brokers, or asset managers so that the legal strategy aligns with your broader leasing and investment goals.

Our litigation services for commercial landlord-tenant disputes can address the following and more:

• Evictions
• Unpaid rent claims
• Non-monetary default claims
• Property damage
• Distress for rent proceedings

Our Process For Handling Commercial Lease Disputes

When a commercial lease dispute arises, landlords often need a clear roadmap so they can make informed decisions instead of reacting under pressure. We start by analyzing the lease, payment history, correspondence, and any prior agreements so we understand both the letter of the contract and the practical relationship between the parties. From there, we evaluate the strength of potential claims and defenses under Florida law and consider how quickly you need to regain control of the space or collect amounts due.

Once we have that foundation, we outline options with you that may include issuing formal default and cure notices, pursuing a negotiated payment plan, or filing an eviction and damages action in the appropriate Broward or Miami-Dade court. At every stage, we weigh timing, cost, and business impact, and we keep you informed about the likely consequences of each step. This process-driven approach helps commercial property owners avoid missteps that could delay an eviction, weaken a collection effort, or complicate a pending refinance or sale.

Because disputes can evolve quickly, especially in shopping centers and office buildings where tenant changes affect co-tenancy and visibility, we remain accessible to adjust strategy as new facts develop. We coordinate with property managers, accountants, and leasing brokers so that notices, rent ledgers, and communications all support the case being pursued. By following a disciplined process rather than one-size-fits-all tactics, we aim to move disputes toward resolution in a way that protects both the current matter and the long-term value of your commercial property.
