Commercial lease agreements usually allow a landlord reasonable access rights—including the right to enter the leased premises to make necessary repairs or to renovate the property.

A commercial landlord may also enter the leased premises to prevent damage or harm to the property or its occupants due to a water leak, flood, fire, electrical outage, gas leak, burglary, robbery, or other emergency—or to allow a law enforcement officer to enter and ensure the safety of the property and its occupants.

A commercial lease will also usually give the landlord the right to enter and show the premises to prospective tenants—at least within some period of time before termination of the lease, if the landlord and tenant have not agreed to renew the lease or if the landlord or tenant has given notice of their intention not to renew the lease.

And in some circumstances a landlord’s right to enter the premises during the term of the lease may be implied—depending on the specific language in the commercial lease agreement and the nature of the tenant’s operations in the leased premises.

In Florida, commercial lease agreements typically grant landlords reasonable access rights to the leased premises. These rights allow landlords to enter for purposes such as making necessary repairs, renovations, or to address emergencies like water leaks, fires, or to respond to law enforcement needs. The specific terms of entry must be outlined in the lease agreement, which may include provisions for showing the property to prospective tenants, especially as the lease nears termination and if there is no agreement to renew. While the lease should explicitly state the conditions under which a landlord may enter the premises, some rights may be implied based on the lease's language and the nature of the tenant's business. It's important to note that Florida law requires landlords to act in accordance with the lease terms and relevant state statutes, which aim to balance the landlord's property rights with the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment of the premises.
