For example, a three-day notice is required for non-payment of rent, while lease violations require a seven-day notice. Attempting a "self-help" eviction is illegal in Florida. Only law enforcement officials can remove a resident under a writ of possession.

In the case of an uncontested eviction, where the tenant does not respond to the eviction notice, the process can be completed promptly by a police officer once the courts make their judgment–this process can often be completed in around 4-6 weeks.

In Florida, a landlord can terminate a tenancy early and evict a tenant for a number of different reasons, including not paying rent, violating the lease or rental agreement, or committing an illegal act. To terminate the tenancy, the landlord must first give the tenant written notice.

Tenants cannot be legally ordered to vacate their residential units unless they have been properly notified of the beginning of the eviction process. State law provides for 3 types of notices: 3-day notice, 7-day notice with a chance to 'cure,' and an 'unconditional quit' 7-day notice.

3-day notice The notice must say that their tenancy is terminated if the tenant doesn't pay within three days. If the tenant fails to pay after the 3-day notice and doesn't move out, Fla. Stat. § 83.56(3) allows a landlord to start a lawsuit for the eviction process.

Supposing the judge sides with you, the court will order the sheriff to evict the renter within 24 hours. You must obtain a Writ of Possession from the Florida court, which you must pay for. Once the Writ is served or conspicuously posted on the property, the renter has 24 hours to vacate.

The eviction process in Florida with no lease signed is much easier, as you simply need to serve the tenant an official notice to quit. You don't need to proceed to court as long as you give them time to vacate.

On average, an eviction process takes about 15 days if there are no valid defenses to the eviction action. An eviction occurs when a tenant has breached the terms of the tenancy in some material way, or has refused to move out once the rental agreement has expired. An eviction is different from an ejectment.

Examples of illegal “self-help” evictions include changing the locks, removing the front door, or turning off the heat or electricity—all of which may be the basis for a tenant suing a landlord. Florida tenants may sue for actual damages or whichever is greater. A tenant may recover court costs and attorney fees.

If there is no written lease, the tenant may move out for no reason by giving written notice of the intent to leave no fewer than seven days before the next rent payment is due, if the rent is paid weekly, or 15 days, if the rent is paid monthly.
