No. 81-1692.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
April 26, 1983.
On Rehearing Nov. 29, 1983.
Horton, Perse & Ginsberg, Ivan S. Benjamin, Miami, for appellant.
Cypen & Cypen, Buchbinder & Elegant, Miami, for appellee.
Before NESBITT, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.
Chief Judge Schwartz participated in the decision on rehearing, but did not hear oral argument on rehearing or original submission.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Section 718.401(8), Florida Statutes (1981), which prohibits rental escalation clauses in leases for condominium recreational facilities does not apply to prohibit enforcement of such clauses in contracts which antedate the statute. Fleeman v. Case, 342 So.2d 815 (Fla.1976).
Affirmed.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NES-BITT and FERGUSON, JJ.
. Fleeman v. Case expressly did not decide whether lease arrangements for individual unit owners may in some instances "be unconscionable, inequitable or contain other deficiencies recognized in law as a basis for judicial invali-dation_" 342 So.2d at 818.
In Steinhardt v. Rudolph, 422 So.2d 884 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982), this court was faced with the issue whether a certain rent escalation clause tied to the Consumer Price Index was unconscionable under Florida contracts law. Based on the record presented, the trial court's refusal to enforce the proviso in futuro was upheld.
