EXPERIENCED LANDLORD/TENANT ATTORNEY
JACQUELINE A. SALCINES, ESQ.
All residential Landlord Tenant actions in Florida are governed by Florida Statutes Chapter §83. When a tenant stops paying the rent, the landlord is required to follow Florida Statutes Chapter 83 which sets forth the steps for collecting rent:
1. Three Day Notice
2. Filing of a lawsuit in eviction
3. Serving the tenant with the 5-day summons and complaint
4. Waiting for the tenant to answer or obtaining a default
5. Enlisting the services of the Sheriff to execute the Writ of Possession
Many landlords, however, take matters into their own hands and either turn off the electricity or the water, or fail to correct issues with respect to mold or asbestos. This can prove costly for tenants in the eyes of the court.
Florida does not permit self help eviction, or the forcing of tenants out because landlords have disconnected water or electricity. In fact, the landlord can face severe sanctions by the court for doing so.
A landlord tenant eviction is quick, when handled correctly. By hiring an attorney to do it from the inception of the proper Three Day Notice to the filing of the eviction lawsuit, landlord tenant actions get done quickly and correctly the first time around. A tenant can be removed in as little as two weeks.
