LANDLORD AND TENANT FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS
The attached forms are designed for your use in the event of common landlord/tenant disputes. No form should
be used until you have carefully reviewed and understand the instructions preceding the form, and reviewed the
referenced Florida Statutes.
The landlord/tenant relationship is controlled by the terms of your lease and by Part II of Chapter 83 of the Florida
Statutes. The procedures for enforcing your rights under your lease and Part II of Chapter 83 are set forth i n
section 51.011, Flori da Statutes . You are advi sed to careful l y review thes e statutes before starting any l egal
proceeding concerning your lease. Copies of these statutes are usually available at the law library located at your
county courthouse and at your public library.
Before you can start a lawsuit to end a lease or withhold rental payments, you must first give proper written
notice. The form of the notice will depend on the landlord's or tenant's reason for termi nati ng the l eas e or
withholding rent. There are two common reasons for a landlord to terminate the lease and evict a tenant. Those
reasons are:
1. The tenant has not paid his rent on time.
2. The tenant has not complied with the requirements of the lease or has violated Florida
Statutes.
The tenant must give notice to the landlord for one of two reasons. First, a tenant will notify the landlord to end
the lease when the landlord does not maintain the property as required by the lease or Florida Statues. Second,
the tenant may instead withhold rent payments.
After sending the notice, it may be necessary to file a suit. The landlord will, as a general rule, have a
suit against the tenant not only to evict the tenant (have the tenant removed from the property), but also for
damages for unpaid rent. If the amount of damages exceeds $30,000 you should not use this form. If the landlord
wants to evict the tenant for breaches of the lease other than failure to pay rent, his suit may be for non-
compliance.
At the time the complaint is filed, the landlord must ask the clerk of the court to issue summonses. A separate
summons is necessary for an eviction and to recover damages for unpaid rent. If a landlord is suing the tenant both
to evict him and for damages, he will need to have both summonses issued and delivered to the sheriff with the
complaint.
If the court rules that the landlord is entitled to evict the tenant and/or recover damages for unpaid rent, the court
will sign a judgment in the landlord's favor. Once a landlord receive a final judgment for eviction, he must ask the
clerk of the court to execute a Writ of Possession. The Writ of Possession should be delivered to the sheriff by the
landlord for service on the tenant.

UNLAWFUL DETAINER
FORMS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
62
UNLAWFUL DETAINER FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Unlawful Detainer is a county court lawsuit filed pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter 82 requesting that
another person be ordered to leave your property. It is similar to an eviction proceeding except that in an
Unlawful Detainer case, there is no landlord/tenant relationship between the parties, i.e. there is no
agreement to pay rent, either verbal or in writing. If there is an agreement to pay rent you should
consider filing an eviction case. Consult with an attorney if you are not sure.
The Unlawful Detainer should be used if:
1) You are trying to remove someone from your home, and
2) You have a legal right to reside in your home (You are the owner or the legal tenant), and
3) The person you are trying to remove does not have a legal right to reside in your home (they are
not an owner or a legal tenant), and
4) There is no agreement for rent (verbal or in writing) between you and the person you are trying
to remove.
The attached forms are designed for your use in the event there is no landlord/tenant relationship. They
should be used if there is no residential lease or verbal agreement for rent. If you have a residential,
commercial, agricultural, or personal property lease, you should consult with an attorney. No form should
be used until you have carefully reviewed and understand the instructions preceding the form and
reviewed Florida Statutes 82.
At the time the complaint is filed, the plaintiff must ask the clerk of the court to issue summons. This is
achieved by filing the completed summons with the Complaint for Unlawful Detainer.
If the court rules that the plaintiff is entitled to have the defendant removed from the property, the court
will sign a judgment in the plaintiff’s favor. Once a plaintiff receives a final judgment for Unlawful Detainer,
he/she must ask the clerk of the court to execute a Writ of Possession. The Writ of Possession should be
delivered to the sheriff by the plaintiff for service on the defendant.
