Florida Landlord Eviction Process Non-Monetary Lease Violations | 7-Day Notice
Hello, I’m Real Estate Attorney Ryan Shipp
As a Florida real estate attorney, I help landlords navigate the eviction process when tenants violate lease agreements. Understanding your legal rights is essential to maintaining control over your rental property.
The 7-Day Notice to Cure
When a residential tenant violates lease terms—such as having unauthorized occupants ♂️ or pets —Florida law requires landlords to provide a 7-Day Notice to Cure ✉️. This notice gives the tenant 7 days ⏳ to correct the violation(s). If the issue is resolved within this period, eviction cannot proceed. However, if the tenant fails to remedy the problem, the landlord may file for eviction.
The 7-Day Unconditional Quit Notice
For severe or non-curable lease violations ❌—such as illegal activities—landlords can issue a 7-Day Unconditional Quit Notice ⚠️. This requires the tenant to vacate within 7 days, with no opportunity to correct the violation. If the tenant refuses to leave, the landlord can proceed with eviction through the courts.
⚖️ Following Legal Steps is Crucial
Properly handling lease violations and understanding 83.52 and 83.56, of the Florida Statutes, helps ensure landlord’s rights are upheld ✅ and avoids legal pitfalls. Taking the correct legal steps protects both landlords and tenants under Florida law.
