According to the Relocation, Foreclosure and Eviction page on HUD's website: You should contact a local legal assistance provider for advice. More advice from FAQ Farmers: * Having been in the eviction business for 30 years now helping landlords evict tenants who refuse to pay has taught me one thing I would like to pass on to tenants; first, don't ignore the notice. If it is for non-payment of rent, figure out how you can pay and immediately contact your landlord to make arrangements to pay the rent. If the notice does not state a reason, then you should still contact your landlord and ask why you were given the notice. Landlords do NOT arbitrarily give eviction notices out. Most all have a legitimate reason (and you as the tenant probably know or have a good hunch why). Sometimes you can negotiate with the landlord and he will withdraw the eviction notice. However, if the tenant has caused too many problems and they are good reasons (not improper ones) for eviction, the tenant needs to immediately start looking for another place to live. Sure you can contact legal aid, but you must qualify (most tenants don't), or you could pay a small fee to a local attorney for some legal advice. The bottom line is that the landlord owns the rental and can ask a tenant to vacate as long as he is in compliance with state and any local (city) laws. Additionally, it is important to keep your landlord as an ally; you probably need him to give you a reference for your next landlord.

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 must an eviction be carried out in accordance with the law?

An eviction must be carried out in accordance with the law by following the legal process outlined in the relevant state or local laws. This typically involves providing the tenant with proper notice, filing the necessary paperwork with the court, and obtaining a court order for the eviction. The eviction must be carried out by a sheriff or other authorized law enforcement officer, and the tenant must be given the opportunity to remove their belongings before being physically removed from the property. It is important to follow all legal procedures to avoid any potential legal consequences.
