RE: Notice of Lease Termination— 1111 12'Street, Suites 301, 302,portion of 310, 311, and 312,
Key West, Florida
Dear Mr. Sanchez,
As you know, Monroe County has been renting the above space at the Professional Building in
Key West from you since January 2019 for the Monroe County Public Defender's Office. We appreciate
your flexibility and cooperation in working with us as we moved into the space many years ago. We,
thereafter, continued to enjoy a great working relationship with you over the years.
Monroe County has purchased a property on Simonton Street in Key West which is being
renovated to accommodate the Public Defender's Office, as the County strives to do what is in the best
interests of our taxpayers and the community. Now that County-owned property is available, we are
exercising the provision of our Lease which provides that we may vacate the property prior to the
termination date upon providing six months' notice. A copy of the Notice of Lease Termination is
enclosed herewith. We will,therefore, vacate the property on or before March 31, 2024. In the event the
Public Defender's Office can relocate prior to that date, we will keep you informed. Willie DeSantis,
Director of Facilities Maintenance, and Alice Steryou,the Contract Monitor,will be your points of contact
for any communications regarding terminating this Lease and returning the property to you.
If you wish to begin advertising the space for any upcoming rental and can provide us advance
notice,we are happy to cooperate with you in showing the space to prospective tenants. We are obligated
to pay our rental amount pursuant to the Lease terms for the remainder of the six months and will be doing
so. Monroe County and the Public Defender, Robert Lockwood, appreciate the relationship that the
County has had with you through the years and look forward to perhaps working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
..ry
Doman Gastesi
