Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

revocable license agreement

I have a revocable license agreement with a licensor that has violated terms of agreement and ignored notice to correct. His license has now been terminated. Due to a symbiotic relationship between the 2 companies, the licensee is licensed to conduct his business (which complements ours). It restricts his scope. He has now transgressed the scope and is in active competition with us, instead of complementing us. He refuses to leave and wants to extort ridiculous monies from us to leave. If he remains in the premises after the date allowed by termination, can I treat him as a tresprasser & lock him out. This is not a lease, he has no rights to the property (as per the agreement). Do I have to go through eviction proceedings?

Re: revocable license agreement

Really much too complex for anything but a full review by an attorney who can examine the agreements.

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It appears that the issues may be unrelated. Without reviewing the agreement it is impossible to say for sure, but a quick answer would be that all tenants, whether on a lease or not, must be evicted pursuant to Florida law. If you believe your relationship is somehow exempt, you will need to meet with an attorney who can review the instruments and give you a more educated and informed opinion.
