If they receive mail? How about if they change their Driver's License and Vehicle Registration to the address? Does that then make them a "Tenant" under Florida Law? This person is a sole occupant of my "Guest House" currently, but did allow some of my other guests at one time for a period of 3 weeks. He has been there for 2-3 months.. The verbal agreement was for 2 months at the time he took possession of the mobile home. He pays no rent (per our original oral agreement) or utility bills. The home and all related expenses are under my accounts.

As far as I understand... yes. Even if they are sleeping on your couch in the living room if they are allowed to remain long enough... and that is far less than 2-3 months. Then a legal eviction would be required.

I honestly don't known at preciecely what point that would occur. Because real estate laws vary state to state its not hard to assume that may vary state to state as well.

I don't see anything more specific prohibiting a LL from ousting a tenant, but such prohibiiton is commonplace in many state LL-tenant statutes.

First, please don't use the Comments to post a follow-up. That's not what they are for. Use the Answer This Question options.

Second, as per the statute AK posted you have an oral agreement providing for use and occupancy of the premises. Ergo he is a tenant and needs to be evicted. However Florida law states that a month to month tenancy can be terminated on 14 days notice.
