Most evictions involving residential property are typically based on nonpayment of rent. Florida law mandates the issuance of a three-day notice demanding payment of past-due rent or possession of the property, which is a non-waivable requirement. It is crucial that the notice complies with the statutory requirements. If the tenant does not vacate the property after receiving a three-day notice, the landlord must initiate an eviction action. Upon successful eviction, the clerk’s office will issue a writ of possession, which will be served by the sheriff’s office. Some landlords handle evictions on their own (pro se), while others seek the services of an attorney.
