Eviction Laws For Adults

Summary

In Florida, parents must legally evict an adult child, providing written notice and potentially filing an eviction lawsuit if the child does not leave. Even if eviction leads to homelessness, it remains legal as long as proper procedures are followed. Parents are generally not liable for damages to the childs property post-eviction unless the damage is intentional. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.
