Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

eviction
in the state of florida,if you cannot make your rent by the time indicated on the lease,such as mine is a $24.00 per day late charge past the second day of the month.my question is ,when can the landlord actually evict you for non-payment?and if the rent is paid within 30 days or before the next month comes around,when can the landlord enforce the $24.00 per day late fee?in other words if i am late 3 wks on the rent,is the astronomical late fee also due or is it supposed to be due at the end of the lease,especially when the landlord is holding a hefty security depost.if i pay the rent late and the landlord does not accept the rent because the late fees are not included,is the lease broken by the landlord?in short,can i be evicted for not having the too high late fees,but do have the rent?also,does the landlord have more eviction power should a rent check bounce from the bank?am i better off not paying the rent if i am sure the funds are not at hte bank.or should i pay the rent check on time and take the chance it may or may not be returned?thank you [email protected]

Re: eviction

1. The late fee is valid and you can be evicted for failure to pay.

2. It is a criminal act to intentionally bounce a check.
