Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
Reopen Eviction case
I have two horrible tenants. I've already filed for eviction against them once and they talked me into filing a voluntary dismissal and ending the case. The case was closed. Well today I was at the courthouse and the clerk told me that I wouldnt have to pay a new eviction fee and that I could just reopen the case for a lot less. But then she showed me a complaint form with two counts. WHAT?! This is getting complicated. I didn't even know that I could reopen a closed eviction case as an amendment in Florida. I've read not to listen to clerks. What can I do? Can I amend the complaint instead of filing all over again?
