If the landlord or representative of the landlord, such as an on-site manager acting on their behalf accepts any portion of the rent and they have already begun eviction proceedings, they will have to start over with the legal process if you are being evicted for not paying your rent.

If you are, or have been, in violation of the terms of your lease agreement, yes. If the landlord is following your state's legal format for evictions, and the eviction process has already begun, he can continue the process.

Not if the eviction is for non-payment of rent. If he collects rent in this case he cannot proceed with the eviction. If the eviction is for other reasons this does not apply.

How landlord collects rent without eviction?

Collecting the rent and proceeding with evictions are two different processes. Either the tenant pays the rent or faces eviction.


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).

How the Eviction Process Works?

Eviction is an ugly and scary process. People who are facing eviction have rights that are often overlooked because fear has gripped them. Each state has different eviction laws and some towns/cities have local laws that can help a person in danger of eviction. Eviction is the act of a landlord forcing a person to leave a home or business for of lack of payment for past due rent. The process is a long and arduous one for people who are going through it. The first thing that has to occur in most states is the tenant's failure to pay rent. There are several other reasons that someone might be evicted from the home as well. Other than owing rent, the tenant must follow the lease to the letter to avoid eviction. If the lease allows only one person to live in the dwelling (home) and there is more than one person living there, the landlord can evict the tenant. If the lease says "no pets" and a pet is living in the home, the landlord can evict the tenant. The landlord has to take the case to court in order to obtain an eviction. The most common type of eviction is for non-payment of rent. The landlord cannot file for an eviction until the day after the rent is due. As soon as the rent is past due, even by one day, the landlord has the right to file in court. After the landlord files the paperwork, a court date will be assigned. The court date is generally about two weeks from the date the landlord filed. If the rent is paid prior to the court date, the tenant does not have to appear in court. If the tenant does not pay, he or she can show up in court to state why he or she did not pay rent. The eviction process will likely go in favor of the landlord. The tenant will be sent a notice, in most cases, after the police are contacted and an eviction day is set. The police will escort the landlord to the home and the eviction process will take place. The only way to stop eviction in this case is to pay the rent prior to the eviction date. In that case, the tenant will be able to remain in the dwelling. If the three orders of eviction are given by a judge in a one year period, it results in an automatic eviction in most states.
