Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Tenant Owes Money

My previous tenant owes me over

$6,000 and has agreed in writing to pay

me $125 per week but has not and will

not answer her phone. What course of

action should I take since small claims

is $5,000 and under in Florida.

Re: Tenant Owes Money

You can file in county court for the entire $6,000, but if you want to stay in small claims court, you can, you'll just be giving up the extra $1,000. If you win the whole thing, you'll get $5,000 instead of the full $6,000.
