Eviction

Residential Eviction ~ Non-Payment of Rent Process The Gladstone Law Group provides residential evictions in conjunction with the foreclosure of a property and for non-payment of rent in all Florida counties. The first step in the eviction process is to serve the tenant with a Three Day Notice. The tenant has three (3) working days to pay the past due rent in full. If the tenant does not pay the amount due in full, a Complaint is filed with the Court in the jurisdiction of the property. The court issues the summons and the tenant is served. The tenant has five (5) days, excluding weekends and holidays, to file an answer to the Complaint. If an answer is not filed, a motion for Final Default Judgment is filed. As soon as judgment is granted, the Sheriff’s Office will serve the Writ of Possession, a 24-hour notice for removal of all persons and possessions from the property. An uncontested tenant eviction is usually completed within four (4) weeks. Starting the Eviction Process Please complete the attached Eviction Order Form (in PDF below) to begin you eviction process immediately. Please send the completed form, along with a copy of the lease agreement, via fax to 561.338.4077 or email it to referrals@lglaw.net. For your convenience, the Three Day Notice is provided below.
