7-Day Noticeįor instances where the eviction is for noncompliance with the rental agreement but a cure is possible or permissible, a 7 Day Eviction Notice is given, also called “Notice of Noncompliance, Seven Day Notice to Cure.” It must contain what act or omission constitutes the noncompliance and that the lease will be terminated unless the tenant cures the breach within the 7 days. When counting the 3 day notice period, do not include the first day of service, weekends or holidays. These notices ( which you can create here) must contain certain specific information to be effective. For nonpayment of rent, the Florida eviction notice is a 3-Day Eviction Notice (see Florida Statutes 83.56(3) and 83.595 regarding nonpayment of rent). Like most evictions in any jurisdiction, a landlord’s first step in the Florida eviction process is service of the appropriate written notice. So make sure you always follow the proper procedure. Trying to evict a tenant by extralegal means such as changing locks, turning off utilities, threatening the tenant or engaging in any other act designed to force the tenant to leave, is illegal and may subject the landlord to civil damages to the tenant. Florida residential landlords must follow the Florida eviction process to legally evict a tenant from leased property.
