Managing in Fort Lauderdale.

Broward County, Florida

The Fort Lauderdale canal network puts a seawall and often a dock on a large share of residential property. Both are structural assets with their own inspection and repair cycle, and their condition reaches insurability and value as much as the house does. Seawall deterioration is slow, expensive and easy to miss from the street. A lease also has to say who may use the dock, for what, and with what size of vessel.

The Answer

What owners in Fort Lauderdale ask

Quick Answer

Who maintains the seawall and dock at a Fort Lauderdale rental?

The owner, and the lease should say so. Fort Lauderdale canal-front properties carry seawalls and docks as separate structures, so ClearPath Property Management inspects them on a set cycle and writes dock and vessel use into the tenancy rather than leaving it assumed.

Marine contractors sit on a separate list from general maintenance vendors, because the work, the access and the scheduling have nothing in common with a repair inside the house.

  • Seawall and dock condition inspected on a defined cycle
  • Vessel size, mooring and guest use written into the lease
  • Marine contractors held separately from general maintenance vendors
