Florida Complaint For Eviction for failure to pay and recover (past due rent) is a legal process for landlords to reclaim unpaid rent. The process begins when a landlord files a complaint in the county court in the county where the rental property is located. The complaint outlines the amount of unpaid rent, the length of time it has been unpaid, and other relevant facts. It also provides the tenant with an opportunity to defend themselves. If the tenant does not respond to the complaint, the court will generally enter a default judgment in favor of the landlord. There are two types of Florida Complaint For Eviction for failure to pay and recover (past due rent): 1. Summary Eviction: This type of eviction is used when the tenant has failed to pay rent. The landlord must provide a written notice of the rent due and the tenant has three days to pay it. If the tenant does not pay, the landlord can then file a complaint for eviction. 2. Unlawful Detained: This type of eviction is used when the tenant has committed an act that violates the lease agreement, such as not paying rent, damaging the property, or subletting without the landlord's permission. The landlord must provide the tenant with a written notice of the violation and the tenant has seven days to comply. If the tenant fails to comply, the landlord can then file a complaint for eviction.
