How can I evict someone that I have rented a room to in Sumter county, Florida

You serve them with a written notice to vacate... legally in Florida you have to give them 14 days notice... then you go to court to have it enforeced if they refuse to leave. After you win that the Sherrifs will physically remove them and their property.

What is the reason for the eviction? The times for the notice are different depending on the reason. Tell us your reason and we can look up the applicable time.

Also what is the rental period, week, month?
