Florida Eviction Notice Selector

The statute, not preference, decides which notice starts a Florida eviction. Pick the situation and get the notice § 83.56 requires.

Based on the information entered, here's the applicable general rule and source.

Why the right notice matters

Florida's eviction process starts with the notice, and the notice type is decided by the statute, not by preference. The wrong notice — a 3-day notice for a barking dog, a termination notice for a first fixable violation, a cure notice missing the 12-month warning — restarts the clock and hands the tenant a defense. Delivery must follow s. 83.56(4): mail, personal delivery, e-mail under a signed s. 83.505 addendum, or, if the tenant is absent, leaving a copy at the residence.
