No, in Florida, a landlord cannot evict a tenant immediately. The law requires written notice and a court process before any eviction can occur.
For nonpayment of rent, landlords must give a 3-day written notice. For lease violations, a 7-day notice is typically required, depending on whether the issue can be corrected.
After the notice period, the landlord must file in court and obtain an eviction order. A tenant cannot be removed without a court judgment and the sheriff’s enforcement.
