CORPORATE CENTER ASSOCIATES, INC., a Florida corporation, Appellant, v. David Harris SINGER, Appellee.
    No. 91-211.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 6, 1991.
    Rehearing Denied Sept. 12, 1991.
    Olle, St. Louis, Macaulay & Zorrilla, and Raymond L. Robin, Miami, for appellant.
    William J. Motyczka, and Marlene Leon-Rubido, Miami, for appellee.
    Before BARKDULL, LEVY, and GERSTEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Corporate Center Associates, Inc., appeals the dismissal with prejudice of its complaint to recover proceeds from a lease agreement. We reverse and remand.

Appellant’s first amended complaint was dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. We reverse because we find that the complaint contained sufficient allegations to maintain a cause of action.

A trial court abuses its discretion in dismissing a complaint with prejudice, without giving leave to amend, except where “there has been an abuse of the amendment privilege, or the complaint shows on its face that there is a deficiency which cannot be cured by amendment.” Affordable Homes v. Devil’s Run, Limited, 408 So.2d 679 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).

Accordingly we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
