An eviction proceeding is one in which a landlord is petitioning the court to force a tenant out of his home, either for violating the terms of the lease or non-lease agreement, or, most commonly, for non-payment of rent. After proper notice is given to the Tenant by the landlord, called a Statuatory Notice (of about 3 to 5 days depending on your State), the landlord may file eviction proceedings. In Florida the tenant has then five days, excluding holidays and weekends, to answer the Summons for Eviction. This answer must be accompanied by cash or money order for the rent involved, and given to the Clerk's Office of the court. The money is placed into the Registry and a hearing date is set. If the hearing date is set at a time after the next rent is due then the judge will order the Tenant to pay that additional rent to the Clerk's Registry in order to continue the process. If the Tenant does not appear in court, does not pay the rent into the Clerk's Registry, or otherwise loses the case, a judgment will be entered in favor of the Landlord, and the Tenant will be given 24 hours to vacate the premises. If the premises are not vacated after the 24 hours is up, the Landlord hires the Sheriff's Department to force the Tenant out of the home. An eviction process takes about 3 weeks to one month in Florida or South Carolina. In other states it could take longer.

If an eviction notice has been given to you, the proper process is that a court date would be set. If you have a hardship such as a newborn baby or taking care of a terminally ill relative, the court may grant you the permission to stay. If the court decides that you were negligent on paying your rent, you will be given at least a 30 day notice to vacate.
