Florida eviction process, explained
From the initial notice to filing, hearing, and writ of possession, we guide you through each step so deadlines aren’t missed. When cases escalate beyond routine matters, our real estate litigation team is prepared to advocate in court, bringing evidence and witnesses to support your position.
Lease agreement review and prevention
Clear leases prevent conflict. We review or draft agreements for apartments, condos, and single-family rentals, aligning terms with local realities like association rules and parking. For bigger picture planning, we connect lease strategy with real estate law and your property goals in Coral Gables and nearby neighborhoods.
Practical resolutions when possible
Not every dispute needs a courtroom. We negotiate payment plans, move-out timelines, or repairs where appropriate, while keeping litigation ready if talks fail. For rentals tied to business operations, we coordinate with residential real estate or commercial counsel to protect long-term plans.
Common questions
How does the Florida eviction process work in Miami-Dade?
A landlord has to give proper statutory notice, file the eviction case, and get a court judgment before the sheriff can remove a tenant. We make sure the notices and filings meet Florida law so the case doesn’t stall.
What are a tenant’s rights if a landlord won’t make repairs?
Tenants are entitled to habitable conditions, but you have to follow specific notice steps first. We advise on the lawful remedies and defend against retaliation, and we caution tenants not to withhold rent without legal guidance.
How can a landlord protect against problem tenants in Coral Gables?
Strong leases, thorough screening, clear house rules, and prompt enforcement. We draft lease terms on maintenance, access, late fees, and default that hold up in court.
How do I recover a security deposit in Florida?
Florida sets strict deadlines and notice requirements on landlords. We pursue claims for wrongfully withheld deposits, and defend landlords who followed the statute and the lease.
Do you handle commercial lease disputes too?
Yes. We negotiate workouts, resolve default and build-out issues, and litigate possession or damages claims for retail, office, and industrial spaces across Miami-Dade.
