A Florida Complaint for Evictions and Damages for Nonpayment of Rent is a legal document used to initiate the eviction process for nonpayment of rent. It is typically filed in the county court of the jurisdiction where the rental property is located. The complaint outlines the amount of rent owed, the length of the lease, the date of the tenant’s breach, and any damages caused by the tenant’s breach. It also includes a summons, which provides the tenant with notice of the legal action and serves as a formal demand for payment of rent. The complaint also serves as an eviction notice, informing the tenant that they must vacate the premises within a certain time period or face eviction. There are two primary types of Florida Complaint for Evictions and Damages for Nonpayment of Rent: Unlawful Detained Complaints and Breach of Contract Complaints. An Unlawful Detained Complaint is typically used when the tenant has unlawfully occupied the property without a lease or after the lease has expired. A Breach of Contract Complaint is used when the tenant has failed to pay rent or has breached the terms of the lease agreement. In both cases, the complaint outlines the amount of rent owed, the length of the lease, the date of the tenant’s breach, and any damages caused by the tenant’s breach.
