FAQ
Be on your best "good tenant" behavior when you go to see a rental. Show up on time, dress neatly, and present yourself as someone who is both conscientious and agreeable. If you're attending an open house, arrive at the start (but not too early), if possible.
Now that you know the things to avoid, let's take a closer look at some helpful tips to prevent lawsuits. Have Proper Insurance. Avoid Tax Issues. Do Not Discriminate Against Current or Potential Residents. Return the Security Deposit or Provide Documentation of Repairs.
Most of the time. Courts tend to rule in favor of landlords in most instances. Tenants, even when they are in the right, don't usually come to court prepared. Landlords present specific evidence of which terms of the lease the tenant violated.
A landlord may see taking on a tenant with a judgment as a huge risk, but they might be willing to overlook that risk if you provide a large deposit as insurance. This will give them confidence in your ability to make future rental payments.
When considering a legal action against a landlord, it is important to gather evidence such as written documents, emails, and texts between you and the landlord. Other evidence includes videos and photographs depicting the condition of the apartment, and any witness statements that might help your case.

A common summary of the rules for setting aside (excusing) a default is frequently quoted by Florida appellate courts: A party attempting to set aside a clerk's default must demonstrate excusable neglect, a meritorious defense, and due diligence in order for the trial court to vacate the default.
The Tenant will have five days, after service, to file a written response to a Complaint for eviction, and 20 days, after service, to file a written response to a complaint for back rent and damages. If the Tenant fails to file a written response in that time the Landlord is entitled to a judgment by default.
Generally, a default allows you to obtain an earlier final hearing to finish your case. Once the default is signed by the clerk, you can request a trial or final hearing in your case. To obtain a default, you will need to complete Motion for Default, Florida Supreme Court Approved Family Law Form 12.922(a).
This motion for default final judgment may be filed by a landlord/plaintiff in a Florida eviction action to request that final judgment be entered against the defendant/tenant following its failure to respond to the plaintiff's eviction complaint within the requisite time-frame.
