Likewise. Well I gave my landlord intent to vacate at the end of the month or before. He came over to tell me he has eviction papers he's been riding around with. Although he's made it clear he really doesn't want me here. That's how I feel. I've lived here 4 years and always have paid. Just checking my options. Again I'm leaving and he was notified on November 4th

Okay, he said I could pay on the 15th for the month now it's pay by noon or I'll file paperwork. Feels like it was a trick I fell into. I am prepared to fight it. Never been evicted before just confused why he would want to do this now when we agreed and I wasn't going to be here any longer.
In Florida:
- Landlords cannot change the payment date without your consent.
- If he proceeds with the eviction, a judge will review the case.
- Documentation of your agreement may be helpful in court.
