I have handled over 1700 landlord/tenant cases in Florida.
Evictions are procedural—small mistakes can cause delays. Our office handles Florida landlord-tenant evictions regularly and knows the process from notice through final judgment and writ. We focus on compliant filings, clear next steps, and organized updates through the MyCase client portal.
If a case is contested, we’re prepared to go to court and guide you through hearings, filings, and deadlines—while keeping the process efficient and professional.
Individual Landlords - the eviction process in florida
Before you start an eviction
- Confirm the lease type (written, month-to-month, expired) and the correct tenant names.
- Pull your ledger (rent due, payments received, late fees—dates matter).
- Gather the lease, addenda, and any notices already served.
Serve the correct notice
- Nonpayment: serve a 3-Day Notice (rent only)
- Lease violation: serve the correct 7-Day Notice (with/without cure)
- Holdover: serve the proper termination notice for month-to-month or expired term
(If you’re not sure which applies, start online and we’ll confirm the correct category.)
Don’t accidentally delay your case
- Don’t accept partial rent after notice without a plan (can complicate the filing).
- Keep communications professional and save texts/emails.
- Avoid “self-help” (lockouts, shutoffs).
Start with our online intake
- Use Start an Eviction Online and upload: lease, ledger, notice, tenant contact info.
How the eviction process works (At Our Office)
1. Start Online (7 minutes)
Complete the Start an Eviction Online form and upload your lease, notice, and ledger.
2. We Review for compliance and next steps
We confirm the eviction type (nonpayment, lease violation, holdover, unlawful detainer) and make sure the notice/service details won’t cause avoidable delays.
3. We file and serve the case
We prepare and file the lawsuit and coordinate service of process.
4. Default or hearing—then final judgment.
If the tenant doesn’t respond, we move for default when permitted; if contested, we prepare for hearing and guide you through the timeline.
5. Writ of possession and turnover.
After judgment, we handle the steps toward writ/possession so you can regain the property as quickly as the process allows.
6. All updates in MyCase.
We use the MyCase Client Portal for secure messaging, document sharing, invoices/payments, and case updates—so everything stays organized in one place.
Property managers receive consistent updates and can keep multiple cases organized inside the portal.
types of evictions we handle
Non-payment of rent
Used when rent is not paid on time. The right notice and an accurate ledger prevent delays and help move the case quickly.
Lease Violation
Used for material lease violations (other than rent). The notice type depends on whether the issue can be cured; documentation matters.
Holdover Tenants
Used when the lease term ends or a month-to-month tenancy is terminated and the tenant won’t vacate. Timing and the correct termination notice are key.
Unlawful Detainer
Used to remove an occupant when there may not be a traditional landlord-tenant relationship (e.g., guest, family member, significant other). The procedure is different than a rent eviction and must be filed correctly.
