Florida Motion for Clerk's Default Residential Eviction (78) is a legal process used when a tenant is delinquent on their rent payments and the landlord wishes to evict them from the property. This motion can be used by the landlord to obtain a writ of possession to have the tenant removed from the rental unit and to recover the unpaid rent. There are two types of Florida Motion for Clerk's Default Residential Eviction (78): One is a Request for Clerk's Default and the other is a Request for Default Judgment. The Request for Clerk's Default initiates the eviction process and allows the landlord to obtain a writ of possession without having to go to court. The Request for Default Judgment is used when the tenant does not respond to the Request for Clerk's Default and allows the landlord to obtain a judgment for the unpaid rent.
