There is no set answer as to the Length of Time of the Florida Eviction Process. However, there are factors that determine when it will begin and end.
Uncontested Evictions
This takes 3 to 4 weeks. If the Tenant does not respond, the Landlord will file a Motion for Default and a Judgment will be entered. Thereafter, the Sheriff will execute a Writ of Possession allowing them to sweep the property and change the locks.
Contested Evictions
This may take longer. For Example, if a Tenant hires an Attorney, the case will be extended. If they are being sued for failure to pay to pay rent, they are required to deposit it into the Registry. Hiring an attorney can be effective in delaying the Eviction. In addition, the Court will set the matter for mediation within 2 weeks.
Therefore, it is important that the Landlord follow 83 to avoid any delays. If you are being Evicted, you should retain an attorney that can defend you.
