    Eviction in Florida
    What are the steps and reseasonable time frames for evicting a tenant without a lease who is forever late on the rent in Florida. This is concerning a mobile home I am considering purchasing and occupying. The current tenants are not the owners.

    Thanks

    In polk county Florida. You can do everything yourself. Copy and paste this website to get free forms Clerk Online Forms I'm sure your county has one too. You get all the forms online .or go to the courthouse and get a packet with all the formS . 3 day notice ,you don't count day served or weekend,holidays . After that fill out the papers,forms in packet see. = "eviction packet sheet" for THE 1 st trip to courthouse. It's $290 plus $20 for sheriff to give a 5 day notice,no weekends,or day served. They have those five day to put rent in court registry. If they don't .then go back and file rid of possecession ,$70 for the sheriff to give them 24 hours to leave .if they don't ,the next day the sheriff goes with you to put there thing on the road and they cannot come back on property. I was told that with the 3 day notice if you take any of the rent you have to start over with the notice,but with the 15 day notice you can take rent and go on with the evictions, this happen to me with the 15 day notice .tenant had paid some and didn't he had to leave when the sheriff got there and the sheriff didn't know so he call the court and they said yes they had to go,right then .remember 15 day notice has to be given 15 day before rent is due and this is to get back your place and this with a month/month tentant . For the week/ week 7 day notice and lease or year/year 60 day notice. See 83.57 Florida statutes and whole chapter 83 for renting Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine total cost is about $410 if you do it yourself.It takes about 18-20.
