Eviction Attorneys In Florida: Protecting Landlords’ Rights In Evictions And Unlawful Detainer Actions

At Law Office of Ryan S. Shipp, PLLC, our team of eviction attorneys focuses on assisting Florida landlords with the eviction process, making it as straightforward as possible. Whether you’re facing issues with a tenant who isn’t paying rent or you’re a property owner that needs to regain possession of your property through an unlawful detainer, our knowledgeable eviction lawyers are here to provide the guidance and expertise you need.

Why Landlords Should Work With A Florida Eviction Attorney

Eviction procedures in Florida require strict adherence to legal guidelines. Any misstep could lead to delays or even dismissal of the case. Our experienced eviction attorneys help ensure that your case moves forward smoothly and that every aspect of the process is handled correctly, in accordance with Florida law.

We frequently assist landlords with evictions under Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes, which covers commercial and residential properties, and Chapter 723, which regulates mobile home park evictions. In addition, we handle unlawful detainer actions under Chapter 82, which is an effective way for property owners to reclaim property from occupants who are not tenants.

Understanding Unlawful Detainer Actions

An unlawful detainer action differs from a traditional eviction. While evictions under Chapter 83 are for removing tenants who have violated a lease or rental agreement, an unlawful detainer action under Chapter 82 is used to remove individuals who have no right to stay on the property. This might include squatters, former owners, or individuals who overstayed their welcome.

One advantage of an unlawful detainer action is that it does not require prior notice to the occupant, making it a quicker method of regaining possession of your property. Our eviction lawyers can file the necessary documents and represent you in court to help expedite the process.

Mobile Home Evictions Under Chapter 723

If you own or operate a mobile home park in Florida, the eviction process is governed by Chapter 723 of the Florida Statutes. Evicting a tenant in a mobile home park involves adhering to specific legal procedures, and non-compliance can cause significant delays.

For non-monetary violations, landlords must serve tenants with a Seven (7) Day Notice to Cure, giving them a week to fix the violation. If the violation is not corrected within that time, the landlord can terminate the tenancy, but must provide the tenant with 30 days to vacate before filing an eviction action.

In cases of non-payment of rent, landlords must issue a Five (5) Day Notice to Pay or Quit, giving the tenant five days to pay the past-due rent. If the tenant does not pay, the landlord can move forward with eviction proceedings. It’s important to note that after obtaining a final judgment in both types of cases, landlords must wait 10 days before requesting a writ of possession to officially remove the tenant from the property.
