How a landlord deals with your possessions vary from state to state in terms of law. In Florida, for example, your landlord can keep your possessions, while in South Carolina, your possessions must be moved to a curbside where you would have access to them to remove them. If the property remains there after three days then the landlord can arrange for them to be disposed of. And in some states the landlord has to place the items in storage, of which the tenant will be responsible for its fees.

What if the tenant does not leave date stated on notice to quit?

What is the definition of eviction?
Eviction occurs when a landlord files a legal suit against a tenant to force them to vacate the property. The landlord cannot actually perform the eviction, he or she must go to court, win, and have the Sheriff carry out the eviction order. Eviction usually happens as a result of nonpayment of rent, or can occur when other conditions of a lease are broken such as failing to keep the premises in a clean and sanitary condition.
Will an eviction be voided after the landlord accepts money once the eviction is finalized?
Not necessarily: this depends on how much money you have paid the landlord. If you paid all of the money you owed the landlord before hand and then your current rent, then the eviction is canceled. Please note that an eviction is complete when you are forced to move out of the apartment, not when the judge issues a writ of ejectment. This is because the landlord must take every step during the eviction process in order to proceed with it.

How long is the eviction process from start to finish in Fl?
This depends upon the reason for the eviction, as the process is normally faster when it's an eviction for nonpayment of rent. An eviction process for this type of eviction is about three weeks from the date the eviction is filed, keeping in mind that before the eviction can get filed the landlord must post a three day notice on the door or deliver it otherwise to the tenant. If the eviction is for other reasons than the process can be longer but the tenant will still have to pay rent, more likely to the clerk's office instead of the landlord (the landlord will eventually get that money -14% in fees for the clerk).
