Valid reasons for eviction in Florida include non-payment of rent, violation of the lease or rental agreement (such as having unauthorized pets or causing significant damage), or the tenant staying after the lease has expired. Note that landlords must follow the legal eviction process and cannot force a tenant out through illegal methods like changing locks or turning off utilities. Our team at Ashland Medley Law can advise landlords on their rights and obligations, helping ensure that any eviction is handled lawfully and effectively.
