A SUMMARY OF THE FLORIDA EVICTION PROCESS
Florida Statutes Chapter 83 governs landlord/tenant matters, specifically, Florida Statutes 83.40-83.682. Essentially, the process can be summarized as follows:
First, the landlord posts a three day notice on the tenant's door. The tenant then has three business days to pay the rent in full or leave the property. If the tenant fails to pay the past due rent and remains on the property after the three days expire, we then file a Complaint for Eviction with the Court and serve the tenant with a copy. The tenant has five business days from the date of being served with the Complaint and Summons for Eviction to file an Answer with the Court. If the tenant fails to file any paper with the Court, we file a Default and Final Judgment package. In total the process typically takes between 4 to 6 weeks.
