    Legal eviction in Florida
    My daughter rented a home with her boyfriend... during that time he phisically abused her and the judge awarded her the home. Now the landlord wants her to leave. The reason she gave her is that she is a loyal person (she works with the boyfriend) and that she doesn't feel secure with just my daughter and her children living there. Does this women have any rights to make my daughter and her children leave?

    Depends on what the lease says. If it's a month to month lease, yes, she absolutely has that right. Otherwise there is a legal eviction procedure that will depend on the local laws to your county.

    If it's not a month-to-month, it would be a lease. If so, the LL cann't evict unless she has broken the terms of the lease or until the lease expires.

    Eviction laws are normally set on a state-wide level, not the county level.

    And to throw my 2 cents in: Florida only has a 15-day notice to vacate. If I were your daughter, I'd start looking for a new place.
