I want to buy a condo in Orlando. Does the seller legally have to leave the washer & dryer? The other appliances are included.

The seller does not have to leave any items of personal property unless the contract between buyer and seller specifies that the item or items will remain after closing. The contract governs the rights and obligations of the parties. If the contract does not state that the washer and dryer are included, then the seller does not have to leave the washer and dryer in the condo. If, on the other hand, the contract states that all appliances that were in the unit at the time the contract was signed are conveyed to the buyer, then any washer and dryer that were in the unit at the time the contract was signed would need to be left for the buyer. The foregoing is specific to the law and procedure in Florida.  This response does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are limited and unstated facts will likely impact your particular situation.
