Re: Evicting an exboyfriend, no lease

You will most likely have to do an "ejectment" action.

Re: Evicting an exboyfriend, no lease

since he was never a tenant, an action in ejectment is the remedy. i suggest you retain counsel. Good luck.

While an eviction suit might be allowed by some judges, the proper remedy is to file a suit for ejectment under Chapter 66 of the Florida Statutes.

Generally speaking, the elements to be proven in an

action for ejectment are "that (1) the plaintiff has title to

the land, (2) the plaintiff has been wrongfully dispossessed or

ousted, and (3) the plaintiff has suffered damages." Black's

Law Dictionary 556 (8th ed.2004).
