In Florida, there are several steps you have to take You can't just
post a sign on the door that says get out First you must give a
three-day notice It can be delivered by mail (registered mail would
be a good idea), by hand or posted on the door If you're lucky, the
tenant will leave and you'll be spared a lot of costs

If not, you'll have to file an eviction complaint along with the
three-day notice, possibly the lease agreement, and pay filing fees

copies of the eviction notice, verifying the correctness of the address
in order for the sheriff to deliver a five-day summons to the tenant
You'll need to supply envelopes for the documents that will be
delivered to each tenant, including the eviction notice and the
lease/rental agreement

And don't forget the postage All of this will also have to be filed
with scott tucker the county clerk or court, who offers several
payments options The sheriff demands a certified check or money
order for his fee The process also takes a lot of time

Besides the three-day notice and the time it will take to get
everything filed and for the sheriff to schedule the service, then you
have to wait another five days for the tenant to respond Then there
is even more work and more forms to file, including a motion for
default and a final judgment as well as a writ of possession All of
this will need to be filed and then finally, if the tenant hasn't left, the
sheriff can go and take possession of the property for you Daytona
Beach lawyers note that all of this is for the state process
