A Florida Writ of Possession is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Florida in order to regain possession of property, such as rental property, that has been unlawfully occupied. It is a form of eviction that is used when a tenant has failed to vacate the premises after being served an eviction notice or when a tenant has not paid rent. There are two types of Florida Writ of Possession: a 1-Day Writ of Possession and a 24-Hour Writ of Possession. The 1-Day Writ of Possession grants the court-appointed receiver twenty-four hours to take possession of the property. The 24-Hour Writ of Possession grants the court-appointed receiver one day to take possession of the property. In both cases, the tenant must vacate the property within the time stated on the Writ of Possession. If the tenant does not vacate the property within the time period stated, the court-appointed receiver may forcefully remove the tenant from the property.
