Day Notice To Pay Rent In Florida: Fill & Download for Free

And here I stand at the door to hold open or close, what shall I do?I said that a few times this month as a warning to tenants who choose not to pay.Short answer: In Florida, you don’t have to show anything, suffer the consequences for your action. But at the same time I don’t like that owners approach. Show me your fiances. Nah, bad approach.Long Answer: In Florida, we currently have an issue with rents, that issue is some people are paying, some people are asking for a payment plan and some people are not paying.Those that are paying: great, thank you, keep on, carry on, guess what, small landlords have long memories, when the time comes, you get all the repairs first before anyone else.Those that ask for a payment plan: Great, Thank You, we can work something out, let’s just added 1/12 to the next 12 rent payments or something, but it will be worked out legally and with paperwork, thanks for stopping by, carry on.Those that are not picking up the phone or are telling us “we are not paying”. Great, Thank you. Here is what we do next:A) Day 1 : Notice on the door to pay or quitB) Day 5 : Go to the court house (or electric) file the eviction noticeB.1) Day 6 : you get servedC) Day 31 : Go to the court house, tell the judge you did not pay rent, proof with everything, win the case and the judge says “sorry, can’t issue you the Writ to evict” and I reply “FIFO right?” I’m cool with it. FIFO=first in first out and I am cool with it because these are the next steps.D) you just got a judgement against you, I got the first win, I will keep the 1 month rent you prepaid and most likely pay you back most of your security deposit if you did not trash the place (law is tricky on this, so error on the side of caution).E) By Law, I can’t evict you until the law says I can, but, because I am first on line, I will get you out quickly. April 30th or may 12th is the new dates.F) no one will rent to you for at least 3 to 10 years because you chose not to pay. It’s filed on your credit report also.G) you come asking to drop the eviction, Nah… You became a risk to the asset, I don’t accept risk like that.All you had to do was chat with the landlord, and you would have gotten a payment plan. or a work out.Update 4/15/2020 : I thank everyone for all the positive and negative comments ( a good conversation should represent both sides ). Hope you all paid your rent. It’s not a jubilee just a postponement.Update 4/30/2020 : Again I want to thank everyone for positive and negative comments, I want to again point out something very important: their are multiple laws in effect, Local, County, State and Federal. In Florida, the only way to get someone on the fast evict line ( the FIFO line as I like to call it ) is if the property is free and clear and/or if the loans are not federal anything. That’s the only way to get the eviction even filed. still they won’t do the Writ and get them out, but you will be first on line to get them to be the first ones out.The one group that wont be evicted is the government housing plan people IE: VA or section8. I do know other plans exists but I’ve never encountered those type and so I can’t vouch for them.Update 5/18/2020 they have postponed in the state of Florida eviction till 6/2/2020 for people whom have a property that does not have government backing.Some owners and tenants have contacted me via my phone for help on what to do. I don’t mind the calls, but I do mind the time 9–5 east coast time please.

While living in New Jersey my landlord, who had been living in Florida, had skipped town upon being located by creditors or unable to pay his rent. He was now living at a YMCA in Arizona. He wanted me to cancel a bank check that I had sent to the Florida address and send a replacement to his new location by overnight courier.The fellow had taken over the business his parents had founded. Between business trends and his very heavy drinking, he lost his wife and the business, and moved back into his parents’ home. When they died and the money ran out he rented the home to delay losing it.We were only going to be renting for a couple of years and took the chance that any foreclosure would take longer than that to move through the courts.We thought being forced to rent his home might have been the bottom he would hit. He supposedly went into rehab and our first several rent checks went to him in care of his ex-wife.He then asked us to send the monthly checks to his new address, in Florida. Later, we switched to his brother’s house.When we learned his latest new address was a motel, he also asked that we start paying by bank check, rather than personal check. We could deduct the cost of the check from the rent due.He had to flee Florida before the check arrived.That was also when he modified the payment instructions further. From then on, to accommodate his needs, paying the rent required a visit to a bank to get their check, followed by a stop at the UPS Store to send the check in an insured overnight envelope. All expenses related to this were deducted from the rent payment.As our lease was down to its last months, someone working to collect his debt to the homeowners’ association figured out that there was a rental, and rental income they got permission to garnish. As per a notice taped to our front door, I no longer had go to the bank and UPS store. Checks would go to the sheriff.I did send the landlord a letter explaining no money would be coming and why, giving our 60 day notice that we would not be renewing the lease, and informing him of our plan that our final rent could come from our deposit. (This allowed all of us to maintain the pretense that he had kept that deposit in escrow as required by State law.)

Many Canadians do this and spend the winter months in Florida. Some own a property and some rent.The difference being that they do not require a visa to live in the USA for up to fix months of the year.If course they cannot work and they need to pay for US medical insurance as their Canadian provincial medical insurance does not provide full coverage in the USA.As for getting a US visa year after year that may be possible but before you spend that sort of money, spend a small amount and see a US immigration attorney to make you can indeed repeatedly get a 6 month tourist visa year after year. You could even do a consultation by phone.By the way, this is not a good year to come to the USA. You will be facing a quarantine on arrival. But after an effective vaccine comes out then do look into it.Every year hundreds of thousands of Canadians do it. This year when the virus was closing everything thing down and when the private medical insurance companies gave all Canadians travelling in the USA a 7 days notice of policy cancellations about 1 million Canadians went home in that time.The caravans if cars heading north were quite a sight to see I am told by my American friends.
