Can a landlord serve a 3 day notice to evict via e-mail in the state of Florida?

Hello a:

Probably.

The problem is proving delivery, how do you prove they got it, and read it.

I would say they could claim you did not send it, or that they don't use that email address any longer.

Clerk of the Courts says, "If the tenant has not paid the rent, the landlord is required to give a three day notice in writing to vacate the premises or pay the rent. (Please state the full amount due.) After three full days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) have elapsed from the date of the notice (not counting the date the notice is delivered to the tenant), if the tenant has not complied with the notice, the landlord then comes to the Clerk's Office and files the complaint for eviction of the tenant. Copies of the lease (if one exists between the parties) will also be required when filing. This type of eviction may be filed by the owner, agent or an attorney for the owner. F.S. 83.56 (3)." E-mail does not constitute a written notice

The 3 Day Notice must be hand delivered either into the tenant's hand or posted on the front door of the apartment. Email does not constitute legal delivery and will not stand up in Court for eviction of tenant if done this way.
