Some facts about Florida eviction

Author: reikopena | Posted: 03.03.2012

The foreclosure crisis in the state of Florida has put a lot of property owners in a tight spot. This situation has been misconstrued by some tenants thereby making them think that they are no longer bound to pay rent to their respective landlords who unfortunately are in foreclosure. This is a wrong misconception. Ask any local florida eviction attorney specializing in foreclosure defence and he or she will tell you the exact facts. In Florida eviction notice can be given by a landlord to his or her tenants defaulting on paying rents even if the landlord is in foreclosure.

This is because as per the contract signed between the landlord and the tenant it is legally binding on the part of the tenant to pay rent to the landlord as long as he or she is the owner. The most important part is that even if a foreclosure suit is filed against the landlord the act does not take away the property from him or her. The ownership remains intact and the landlord is still responsible for the duties that he or she has to fulfill as per law. This means that if a tenant taking that excuse (foreclosure suit against the landlord) decides to refrain from paying rent then the landlord as per Florida eviction law has every right to issue an eviction notice.

In Florida eviction notices are issued to tenants who have not paid rent consecutively for several months and they get five to twenty days time (depending on the count clause) to respond. After receiving a florida eviction notice the tenant either has to pay up or vacate the premises. So those tenants who have misconceptions about foreclosure get their doubts cleared the hard way when they receive a Florida eviction notice served by their respective landlords.
