Florida's Eviction Process Has a Strict Order

Every step must happen in the right order, with the right documentation, on the right timeline. That path has no shortcuts.

Issuing the wrong notice, waiting too long, or filing without proper documentation can reset the entire process. For Miami property owners, that delay means real money, often $2,000 to $5,000 or more in lost rent per month.

We issue the required notices correctly, organise documentation, and work with licensed Florida attorneys who handle the court filings. You have one named contact managing communication throughout. Not a call centre, not a ticket queue.

The Sequence

Four stages, and one clear handoff

The right-hand column is the part most owners want answered before they call: who is doing this, and when does it stop being us.

StageWhat happensWho
01

Notice Issuance

For non-payment, the 3-day notice that starts the eviction clock under Chapter 83. For lease violations such as unauthorised occupants or property damage, the 7-day notice giving a defined period to cure or vacate. Both delivered by compliant methods and documented with proof.

02

Response Period

We monitor the notice period, document tenant responses or non-responses, and communicate status. If the tenant pays in full during the window, the notice is resolved. If not, we move immediately without delay.

Scope

We coordinate. Attorneys file and appear. That line never blurs.

What we do

  • Review every notice for statutory compliance before delivery: content, language, delivery method, and counting period.
  • Log and retain every interaction, communication, and date from day one.
  • Prepare the documentation package the attorney files from.
  • Track deadlines and manage the timeline across four county court calendars.
  • Keep you updated at each stage transition, within 24 hours of any change.

What we never do

  • File court documents or appear at hearings. That is legal work, and licensed Florida attorneys handle it.
  • Advise or coordinate lockouts.
  • Advise or coordinate utility shutoffs.
  • Enter a property outside of what Florida law permits.
  • Search for an attorney once you need one. Those relationships are already established in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.
How I Walk Landlords Through This
She'd sent a text message asking for rent. She thought that counted as notice. It doesn't.

The call I get most often starts the same way: "My tenant hasn't paid in two months. What do I do first?"

A property owner in Kendall had tried to start the process on her own. Under Florida law, a 3-day notice must be delivered in a specific way, with specific language, and the three days are counted by statute, excluding weekends and legal holidays.

She came to us after two months of waiting. The process hadn't started.

We issued the correct notice the same week. The tenant still didn't comply. We connected the owner with our local attorney partner in Miami-Dade, who filed with the county court. The writ of possession was executed within the standard filing window.

From our first call to sheriff's execution: 34 days.

What made the difference wasn't speed. It was starting correctly. That's what coordination does. It eliminates the false starts that cost owners months of additional rent loss.

Four Court Calendars

The statute is uniform. The local execution is not.

Miami-Dade County processes thousands of residential eviction cases annually through the county court system. The timeline is defined by statute, not preference. Serve a 3-day notice incorrectly and the clock doesn't start.

Monroe County follows the same Chapter 83 framework, but the local court calendar and sheriff scheduling add days to the back end. Broward landlords face a different court volume than Palm Beach landlords do.

We operate across all four counties and know the local timelines in each. A correctly started, uncontested eviction typically runs 30 to 45 days from notice issuance to sheriff execution.

Communication

You are informed at every stage transition

A lot of landlords hear from their manager once at the beginning and once at the end. Everything in the middle is unclear.

  • Notice issuance. You receive the notice, the delivery documentation, and the date the statutory period begins.
  • Tenant response period. Compliance, partial payment, or no response, documented and communicated.
  • Court filing confirmation. When the attorney files, you know it has happened and what the case reference is.
  • Hearing date. Scheduled and communicated as soon as the court sets it.
  • Writ scheduling. Sheriff execution timing, plus property access and inspection coordination.
  • Anything that changes. If the tenant responds or the situation shifts, you hear within 24 hours.
Areas We Serve

Coordination across four counties

We serve property owners in Miami, Coral Gables, Kendall, Hialeah, Aventura, North Miami, Miami Beach, Doral, and Cutler Bay.

In Broward we work with landlords in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, and Plantation. Palm Beach clients include owners in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, and we coordinate for Key Largo and Islamorada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What landlords ask when this starts

Does 3L handle the 3-day notice itself, or do I have to serve it?
We issue and deliver the required notice on your behalf. The 3-day notice for non-payment of rent under Florida Chapter 83 must meet specific content, language, and delivery standards. We handle every detail of that step so the eviction clock starts correctly the first time.
How long does the full process take from first notice to writ of possession?
A correctly started, uncontested Florida eviction typically takes 30 to 45 days from notice issuance to sheriff execution. Contested cases or court scheduling delays can extend that. Operating across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, we know each local court calendar and don't lose days to procedural errors.
What exactly is 3L's role, and where do the attorneys take over?
We coordinate every non-legal step: notice issuance, documentation, tenant communication, and timeline management. Licensed Florida attorneys handle court filings and hearing appearances. That boundary never blurs. You always know which stage you're in and who is responsible for it.
Can 3L coordinate an eviction if I'm already mid-process and something went wrong?
Yes, we regularly step in after a false start. If a notice was served incorrectly or documentation is incomplete, we assess where the process stands and restart it properly. Fixing a procedural error early costs far less than waiting months while rent loss accumulates.
How is this different from hiring a Florida eviction attorney directly?
An attorney files documents. We manage everything around those filings: issuing notices, organising your documentation package, tracking deadlines, coordinating with your attorney, and keeping you informed at each stage transition. The attorney work still happens, and it still happens with a licensed attorney.
