Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Re: Buying a home

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Without knowing what was agreed upon at the closing, it is hard to fully respond. Generally, if someone remains in a residence after a closing an extended occupancy agreement is entered between the parties which sets forth the terms of the agreement including the length of the time they may stay. If the party fails to honor the agreement, a penalty provision is provided.

If they violated this agreement or if one was never entered into, you will have to provide the son with a three day notice to vacate and then file for an eviction against him in a court of law. Whomever represented you in this transaction should have protected you better from this happening.
