Removing Family or Friends from Your Home or Investment Property in Florida

ByRoberto Vazquez

One of the most unfortunate situations is where the relationship breaks down between friends, or even family members, which results in the need to have the person removed from your home. Many people make the costly mistake of filing an eviction to have the person or persons removed. However, eviction is not allowed under Florida law, unless there is an agreement to pay rent. That could result in the eviction getting dismissed, losing your money on the court costs you spent to file the eviction, and unnecessary delays. The correct lawsuit to file could be ejectment or unlawful detainer. At the Morey Law Firm, we understand these difficult situations and are here to help. In order to avoid this costly mistake, contact us today via our website’s case review or call us at 407-426-7222 to determine your rights.
