Why You Need This Cease and Desist Letter

As a Florida commercial broker, your business depends on protected commissions, exclusive listing agreements, and your professional reputation. Whether you are facing a commission bypass on a Triple Net (NNN) lease, interference with an LOI, or a violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 542 regarding restrictive covenants, a formal Cease and Desist letter is your first line of defense. This document establishes a clear paper trail, citing legal grounds such as the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), to stop infringing behavior before it leads to costly litigation or Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) compliance risks.

Intellectual Property Law in Florida

Fla. Stat. § 725.01 — Florida's Statute of Frauds requires certain agreements, such as those involving marriage, long-term contracts over one year, and real estate transactions, to be in writing. This is similar to common law but with specific nuances such as inclusivity of certain types of guarantees.
Fla. Stat. § 672.201 — Specifies the statute of frauds for sales contracts of goods over $500, requiring a written contract to be enforceable.

What Makes a Cease and Desist Effective

For this cease and desist letter to be legally valid:

  • +A clear, legally supported explanation of why the action must cease, establishing the basis for the demand.
  • +An unambiguous statement of what the recipient must do to comply (i.e., what actions should be taken or stopped).
  • +To enhance credibility, though not always required, having the letter reviewed or sent by legal counsel can lend authority.
  • +A clear method of delivery that can be proven, such as certified mail, to show the recipient received the notice.
  • +Signatures from the sender to signal the document’s legitimacy and intentions.

Common mistakes to avoid:

  • !Failing to clearly identify the specific action or behavior that must stop.
  • !Not providing a strong enough legal basis or evidence for the claim, making the letter seem weak or frivolous.
  • !Using overly aggressive or threatening language, which can alienate the recipient and escalate conflict.
  • !Neglecting to include contact information or a way for the recipient to respond to the allegations.
  • !Overlooking the inclusion of a signature, which can affect the authenticity and intent of the document.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Can I use this letter for a commission dispute on a Florida commercial lease?

Yes. If a landlord or tenant attempts to bypass your procuring cause rights or violates an agreed-upon commission schedule, this letter serves as a formal demand. It references Florida's Statute of Frauds (Fla. Stat. § 725.01) and specific contractual trigger points to signal that you are prepared to pursue legal remedies for unpaid fees.

02

How does Florida's Whistleblower Act or FDUTPA apply to this letter?

If a competitor or former associate is engaging in unfair competition or misrepresentation that devalues your listings (such as cap rate manipulation or false CAM charge data), you can cite the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA). Additionally, if the dispute involves internal firm issues, Florida Statutes § 448.101-105 may provide protection against retaliatory actions.

03

What happens if the recipient ignores this Cease and Desist letter?

The letter includes a 'Warning of Consequences' and 'Reservation of Rights' clause. Under Florida law, providing this formal notice can be critical for establishing 'willful' intent in future litigation, which may allow for treble damages or attorney fees under certain Florida commercial statutes if the infringement continues.
