Florida Resident Manager Agreement

Introduction

This document provides guidance for landlords in Florida whose tenants are behind on their rent payments. It outlines the process for serving a Florida 3 Day Notice of Demand for Unpaid Rent, which is required under state law.

Compliance with Law

The Florida 3 Day Notice is issued in accordance with Section 83.56(3) of the Florida Statutes. This statute governs the procedures landlords must follow when a tenant fails to pay rent on time.

Notice Requirements

Upon serving the notice, the tenant is formally informed that they are required to pay the overdue rent within three days of receiving the notice. The three-day period provides the tenant with an opportunity to resolve the outstanding payment and avoid further legal action.

Eviction Proceedings

If the tenant does not pay the overdue rent within the specified three-day period, the landlord is entitled to initiate eviction proceedings. This legal process allows the landlord to seek removal of the tenant from the premises due to non-payment of rent.

Service of Notice Record

Included with the notice is a Service of Notice form. This form enables the landlord to record the details of how the notice was delivered to the tenant, ensuring proper documentation and compliance with legal requirements.

Format and Intended Use

The Florida 3 Day Notice for Unpaid Rent is available in Microsoft Word format for ease of use and customization. It is intended solely for use within the State of Florida and should not be used in other jurisdictions.
