Eviction Notice Period Clarification

Summary

If a landlord in Florida fails to provide the correct notice period (potentially 30 days for month-to-month tenancies as of 2024), the eviction process could be void. Property managers do not necessarily need a brokers license to handle evictions. For specific advice, consult a local legal aid organization or attorney.

They could collect rent. He put a refrigerator by the door of bathroom so cant shower ( i have to go outside as its not connected), amongst other antics that made my respite toxic, threatening me i called domestic abuse. I was told day * ( august * ) will have to leave that day if i call police. im on disability for depression/ anxiety. im riddled with fear and paralyzed. This is also not zoned for residential! He put up a vacate -may 8th & need to be out in 23days, which im told has to give *, & has to have terminated tenancy b4 evicts, which was posted on door */*.. i responded that his claims werent accurate and sent a copy to him. i paid the county clerk the rent for june with the reasons why it should be dismissed. Mailed him copy. He then filed a motion for judgement default. i am scared out my mind. i also sent an email please give me a chance to rectify. he will not. wont even tell what i did to deserve this. Hes a quintessential Narcissist...and this is his hobby. i have documented everything & have screenshots.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation, HollyDara. Could you please tell me which city and state you are located in? This would help me provide you with the most accurate legal information.
st Pete Florida...
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, HollyDara. In Florida, there are specific rules for eviction:
- Landlords must provide a written notice for eviction.
- The landlord must provide a reasonable notice period.
- Landlords cannot evict tenants for retaliatory reasons.
I recommend contacting a local legal aid organization for more specific assistance.
It's a retaliatory eviction which he defaulted on by giving me 23 days to vacate when it should be 30 days correct and if he only gave me 23 days does that make the eviction that was posted on my door on the 18th void and he is the property manager he should only be able to collect the rent and not do the eviction or if he does he needs to have a broken license am I correct
In Florida:
- A notice should be 15 days for month-to-month tenancy.
- Retaliatory eviction is unlawful.
- Property managers don't necessarily need a broker's license.
For specific advice, contact a local legal aid group.
No they changed it this year it's 30 days
It seems like you're referring to a change in Florida eviction laws. I'd recommend contacting a free legal aid service to confirm this and help with your situation.
I have and I filed my answers and I paid this month's rent but I just wanted to know if he is a property manager doesn't even if he's doing the eviction and the owner isn't doesn't he need to have a broker license
In Florida, a property manager does not require a broker's license to engage in eviction processes. However, if they are involved in buying, selling, or negotiating, a license may be necessary. For more specific advice, contact a local legal aid organization.
Okay the person before you told me that they needed to have that and I agreed and it says it online that they could only collect the rent they can't do evictions could you look up my last case
I'm sorry, but as a legal information service, we can't access personal case files. You may want to consult a legal aid organization or an attorney for specific advice about your case.
Can you verify that a month to month now in * is 30 days
In Florida, the notice period for a month-to-month tenancy is typically 15 days. However, laws can change. I recommend contacting a local legal aid organization or researching current Florida statutes for the most accurate information.

Yes I'm missing you on disability and for anxiety and depression so you're not telling me what the next step is you're just telling me to call Legal Aid which I have done could you tell me the step after that
After contacting Legal Aid:
*. You could try to negotiate with your landlord to resolve the issue.
*. If that doesn't work, you could consider hiring a lawyer if you haven't already.
*. If the eviction proceeds, prepare for court by gathering all relevant documents and evidence.
Please note: This is a general guide; specific steps may vary based on your situation.
So then why did he proceed with a judgment default
A default judgment often occurs if a defendant doesn't respond or appear in court. It's a way to expedite the eviction process. However, it's important to consult with a local legal aid organization as they can provide more specific assistance based on your case.
Motion for judgment default
A Motion for Default Judgment typically occurs when the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit within the stipulated time. If granted, it means the court has decided in favor of the plaintiff. Consult with a legal aid organization or attorney for specific advice.
Okay so legal aid what went with it's inhabitable so should I follow up and put in papers for the harassment all the text that he sent me and his unscrupulous Behavior or should I just leave it inhabitable
You could consider filing a harassment complaint if you have evidence. It's also possible to pursue a claim if your living conditions are uninhabitable. Consult a legal aid organization or attorney for guidance tailored to your situation.
Okay could you please let me know since he didn't give me a *-day notice which is what you need to do now in * and he only gave me 23 days does that make the eviction void and I'll ****for you to look it up please I have anxiety and depression I'm a senior on disability and I'm shaking
I'm really sorry that you're going through this, HollyDara. In Florida, if a landlord hasn't provided the correct notice period (30 days in your case), the eviction process could potentially be void. However, specific details can vary. Please consult a local legal aid organization or attorney for the most accurate advice.
thanks
You're welcome, HollyDara. I understand this is a stressful situation. Remember to gather all your documents and continue consulting with the legal aid organization. They can provide specific guidance tailored to your case. Stay strong.
Unfortunately I'm a senior on disability my income doesn't allow it and now I have to move so I absolutely cannot afford an attorney but random Deeds of kindness goes so far and equals great Karma perhaps another rep could verify if the eviction is void under the Florida statute * *
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, HollyDara. Based on Florida Statute *.*, for a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord should give you notice at least 15 days before the end of any monthly period. If you were given less than this, it could potentially affect the eviction process. However, laws can change, and I recommend consulting a local legal aid organization for the most accurate advice.
I'm so sorry but 15 days is incorrect you need to change that it's now it used to be 15 days in * but it's switched over in * you could just Google that
I apologize for the confusion. If there's a recent change to the Florida Statute *.* extending the notice period to 30 days for a month-to-month tenancy, it could potentially invalidate the eviction notice. However, laws can vary and it is important to consult with a local legal aid organization or attorney.
