where in florida are you? YOu should start eviction proceedings IMMEDIATELY. You can do some of it yourself but it would probably smarter to get an attorney so it’s done right. Shock and awe, that works best in these cases.
If you’re in south florida i know a great eviction attorney.
help, landlord problem - Posted by Paula
Posted by Paula on December 08, 2004 at 07:47:43:
Could someone tell me what I should do? I’m a landlord (in Florida) who signed a 1 year lease with a older couple. They have been in the house for 5 months. Last months rent check bounced (they had a perfect record until then) and they said it was an accident and could I wait until the 6th for them to make that up plus this months rent. I just happened to be out that way and dropped in on them-and caught them moving most of their stuff out. They said they were moving out and would need until the 15th to do this. I told them that I still needed last months rent as well as this months. They told me to come and get it on the 6th. I went by the house twice on the 6th and 7th-but didn’t find them home. Needless to say I’ve called them and they don’t answer. What can I do? Can I change the locks now, even though they have some of their stuff there? Can I file some kind of judgement against them? Please help.
Thanks in advance
