Landlord Tenant Law in Florida 

When a Landlord has issues with a tenant not paying rent, refusing to move out at the end of the rental term, or violates other aspects of the lease or rental agreement, acting expeditiously is critically important. A tenant's inability to pay rent can cause significant financial hardship to the Landlord. In these cases, being able to remove the tenant  in-default promptly is critically important.

What is Landlord Tenant Law?

​

What is an Eviction?

An Eviction is a legal process through which a landlord can remove a tenant from a property the tenant is renting. Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes spells out an Eviction process  as a set of legal steps that must be executed precisely and according to a very specific timetable in order for the eviction to be valid and effective (for more information, please click here). 

​

In order to evict a tenant, a landlord must have a valid reason legally recognized by the state of Florida. These reasons are typically outlined in the lease agreement. They may include:

​

  • Failure to pay rent

  • Repeated late payment of rent

  • Too many occupants living in the property

  • Using a business property as a residence

  • Subleasing to another tenant without permission

  • Behavior that interferes with or inconveniences other tenants

  • Refusing a reasonable and legal change to your rent or to the terms of your lease

  • Damaging the property

  • Using the property for illegal purposes

​

While tenants are usually evicted for breaking the terms of their lease, some reasons have nothing to do with the behavior of the tenant. You can be evicted if your landlord needs or wants to occupy the property for their personal use, or to renovate or substantially rehabilitate the property in a way that prevents you from safely occupying it.

What is an Unlawful Detainer? 

An Unlawful Detainer is a specific type of eviction process that removes someone who doesn’t have a formal lease or rental agreement with the Landlord from the property, and therefore no landlord/tenant relationship. It is typically necessary when friends, family members, or other persons are allowed to stay on a property with no rent or payment and then refuse to leave, and the Landlord seeks to have the person or persons removed from the property.  
 
As some people experienced and economic hardships and lost their ability to pay rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, they had no choice but to move in with family members or friends on a temporary or emergency basis. Unfortunately in some cases, people refuse to leave or are unable to leave what was supposed to be a temporary arrangement. In cases like these, the occupants have to be removed from the property through an Unlawful Detainer. Even though situations like these are never easy, we are seeing a high demand for these type of evictions at our practice. The personalized service we offer enables us to handle these situations with the delicacy they merit.
