VACATING UPON TERMINATION:
(a) The Tenant agrees that upon the expiration of this Rental Agreement and with 60 day written notice, or upon the termination of the Rental Agreement, that the Tenant will at once, peaceably surrender and deliver up the whole of the premises described above, including all keys, together with all improvements thereon to the Agent of Landlord.
(b) A “hold over” occurs when Tenant fails to vacate the premises by the date the Rental Agreement terminates, or by the date in Tenant’s written move out notice to Agent of Landlord, or by the date of Agent of Landlord’s written notice to vacate to Tenant. No holding over is permitted without the written permission of the Agent of Landlord. If Tenant should hold over without written permission, he/she shall be liable for double the rent for the period during which Tenant refuses to surrender possession of the premises, according to the Florida Statute 83.58. Tenant shall also be liable for any additional costs suffered by Landlord or Agent of Landlord as the result of such Tenant holding over. These additional costs could be substantial and shall include but not be limited to all rent for a previously signed commitment of a new Tenant who cannot occupy the premises because of the hold over. In the event that Agent of Landlord imposes a security deposit claim upon Tenant, then Tenant hereby agrees to compensate Agent of Landlord by paying a security deposit claim processing fee of $150.00 (plus postage necessary to process claim), and these fees will be deducted from the Tenant’s security deposit.
