Eviction Process Time-Line

Generally, it is possible to finalize an uncontested eviction for non-payment of rent within 30 days from the date of filing an eviction in court, but this process may vary. There are many factors that affect how long an eviction process will take.

Below is an estimated timeline for uncontested eviction for non-payment of rent. This timeline is based on moving through the eviction process as fast as the law allows. This timeline is just an estimate. Do not assume that your eviction process will be finalized within 30 days. Call to speak with an experienced eviction attorney to discuss your specific case.

Below is an Estimated Eviction Process Time-Line

1. Deliver Proper Notice to Tenant

Generally 3, 7, 10 or 15 Days, before filing of an eviciton in court.

Before a landlord or property owner can file an eviciton case in court, it is necessary to post a proper notice informing the tenant of the amount owed to the landlord or the tenant's non-compliance, and giving the tenant the proscribed time to come into compliance.

You can find a free downloadable notice to tenant by checking the box above under 'Download a Notice' or by clicking here

2. File Eviction Case in Court

Generally allow 2 to 3 days for the clerk of court to issue a case number and for your eviction case to be forwarded to a Florida certified process server for service of court documents on the property.

3. Service of Eviction Documents

Generally allow 1 to 3 days for service (by posting) of court documents. Once the eviction documents and summons are posted on the property, the tenant has a limited amount of time to answer the complaint (5 business days).

Posting or Personal Service of court documents

Possession of the property (also referred to as Count I). The eviction documents must be posted on the property to obtain a final judgment of eviction and possession of the property.
Past Due Rent and Damages (also referred to as Count II). The eviction documents must be personally served on the tenant to obtain a final judgment of past due rent and damages.

4. Tenant has 5 Days to Answer and Deposit

5 business days, not including weekends, or legal holidays. Generally allow 7 to 10 days.

The tenant must file an answer with the clerk. The Tenant's answer must contain any and all defenses the tenant has against the eviction. Also, the tenant must deposit with the Registry of the Court any undisputed unpaid rent.
A copy of the answer must be delievered to the landlord or landlord's attorney.
If the tenant does not file an answer with the clerk, a default may be entered

5. Court Enters Default or Hearing

Generally allow 5 to 7 days in uncontested cases for the court to enter a default. Allow more time if a hearing is required.

If the tenant fails to answer the eviction complaint, then the Court will enter a default final judgment of eviction against the tenant.
The court may set a hearing to determine the amount of rent a tenant must deposit with the clerk of court or to determine if an eviction will be entered against the tenant.

6. Clerk Issues Writ of Possession

Generally allow 1 to 3 days for the clerk to issue the writ of possession.

7. Sheriff Executes Writ of Possession

Generally allow 5 to 7 days for the Sheriff to finalize the eviction and turn over possession to the landlord.

SERVING NOTICE ON THE TENANT The Deputy Sheriff will post a copy of the Writ of Possession on the tenant's premises which states that the tenant will have 24 hours to vacate. If the tenant does not vacate within the 24 hour period, the Deputy Sheriff will place the landlord in possession of the premises by removing the tenant. After the Deputy Sheriff has removed the tenant from the premises, the landlord or his agent may remove any personal property found on the premises to or near the property line.

24 HOUR PERIOD Pursuant to Florida Rules of Civil Procedure applying to Computation of Time, the day the writ is posted is not counted. The 24 HOUR period begins at 12:01 a.m., the business day following the posting, not including weekends or legal holidays.

FOLLOWING THE 24 HOUR PERIOD Following the 24 Hour period, the Writ of Possession will be scheduled for conclusion by the Sheriff’s deputy as soon as possible. The Landlord, property manager, or other contact listed on the Writ will be contacted by the Sheriff’s deputy after posting of the 24 Hour Notice to schedule conclusion of the Writ of Possession. For Conclusion of the Writ of Possession, the Landlord or agent must be present at the property at the date and time scheduled.

Don’t Forget

Arrange for a locksmith if necessary
Do Not enter the premises or building prior to the deputy’s arrival to conclude the Writ.
The deputy must walk thru the premises or building to ensure that all persons and animals are not long inside.
