About Us
The Law Offices of Debi V. Rumph and Debi’s Tenant Clinic
Since July 2005, The Residential Realty Law Firm provided a wide range of legal services as it related to home ownership. However, on July 1, 2012, The Residential Realty Law Firm became the Law Offices of Debi V. Rumph. Debi provides real estate transaction representation, foreclosure defense, and tenant defense services. Additionally, Debi provides services in the area of public finance.
While many law firms specialize in commercial real estate, Debi primarily focuses in residential real estate, primarily working with everyday people: homeowners, tenants, and potential new home owners. As a result, Debi’s goal and focus is to provide her clients with efficient representation – which results in more affordable representation to her clients.
Debi’s Mission is to provide client oriented, fair valuable, trustworthy and reasonably affordable service to those who recognize the inherent value in effective and reliable legal representation. By doing so, Debi hopes to make access to excellent legal service readily accessible to the public.
Debi’s mission is to assist homeowners, buyers, sellers, real estate agents, mortgage brokers and other real estate professionals to bring parties of a real estate transaction to a concrete resolution. In doing so, Debi’s hope is to provide neutral, affordable and fair escrow services to the parties of real estate transactions.

Vision Statement:
Seeking Justice, regardless of socio-economic status.
Mission Statement:
Who are we?
We are a team of legal professionals who are committed to justice for all involved in a residential rental transactions–especially of those persons who tend to be underrepresented in the legal system–namely tenants. We level the playing field in Residential Landlord and Tenant Law.
Indeed, Tenant’s Clinic “nurses” Tenants who have been beaten up by abusive or ignorant landlords or by slumlords.
What Business Are We In?
We seek and demand justice for tenants. We achieve this by being strategic; we strategically seek to provide affordable, customized, and effective solutions for our clients. We help and empower Tenants by helping them to understand–and by assisting them in taking appropriate action upon–rental agreements, eviction notices, Florida landlord tenant law, 3 day notices, 7 day notices, renters rights, notices to vacate, eviction letters, eviction laws, 30 day notices, and the eviction process.
Who Are Our Customers?
Responsible Tenants who seek to be treated fairly in a residential landlord and tenant transaction. If not treated fairly, these tenants seek a timely, strategic, customized, and fair solution. Tenants who are willing to pay a little–but get a big result.
What Makes Us Different?
We stand behind our products and services. First, we customize our products to fit the Tenant. Thus, we do not provide Tenants with cookie cutter forms or one size fits all approaches. Second, we have attorney’s send out our products–making landlords think twice about ignoring our clients’ demands and concerns. Third, if the matter is not resolved, and ends up in Court, and the Tenant acts responsibly in the process, we provide an attorney to represent the Tenant in the resulting court case with no additional out of pocket money. Thus, our products “insure” Tenants against landlords who would retaliate against the Tenant by betting on the fact that the Tenant will not be able to afford an attorney to represent them.
