PLEASE NOTE: FLORIDA RESIDENTS PLEASE TAKE TITLE, RENTAL AGREEMENT AND THIS FORM FILLED OUT TO THE CIRCUIT COURT RECORDING OFFICE BEHIND THE TAX OFFICE IN RUSKIN ON THE SIDE STREET.

In the January/February 2004 issue of FMO News, one of the questions posed to FMO Legal Counsel Justin Joseph in his legalease column addressed homesteading a manufactured home located on leased land to protect it from forced sale. Attorney Joseph explained that Florida Statute 222.05 and Article 10 Section 4 of the Constitution of Florida allows a manufactured home owner to protect his home from forced sale in any legal action. Some people have requested that the FMO provide a generic form so that they can register with their county’s Clerk of the Courts. Thanks to Mr. Joseph for getting this form to us.
