Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

If it's for failure to pay rent, the eviction process is the same. If you would like to terminate the rental and have them move out, you need to provide your tenant with timely written notice. The amount of notice required depends upon the type of tenancy (e.g., month to month, etc.). You should be able to find a state consumer pamphlet on landlord-tenant law that summarizes the Florida Statutes, or contact myself or another attorney for more assistance.

You can find a helpful handbook on FL landlord tenant law at the FL Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services website, located at http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html.

You can evict the tenant for failure to pay rent or failure to meet the obligations set forth in the statutes (summarized in the helpful handbook). A written lease is not a required to evict a tenant.
