Consistent, statewide eviction handling with a flat fee you can pass through to owners.
Why Property Managers Need a Reliable Eviction Partner
A property manager does not handle one eviction; they handle a steady stream of them across a portfolio, often in several counties at once. That changes what matters. A homeowner evicting a single tenant cares about getting through one case. A manager cares about consistency: every notice correct, every file moving on schedule, and a per-file cost they can report cleanly to the owners they answer to. The firm's eviction practice is built for exactly that, statewide and at volume.
What most people miss
At one or two doors, a defective 3-day notice is an annoyance. Across a portfolio, the same recurring mistake (the wrong amount demanded, a miscounted notice period, an unprotected partial payment, or weak proof of service) becomes a systematic leak. It is weeks of lost rent multiplied across every affected file, plus the owner-relationship damage when a manager has to explain why a unit is still occupied. The value of one experienced firm running a consistent process is not the per-file fee; it is the elimination of the recurring error that quietly costs a portfolio far more than legal fees ever will.
The flip side is leverage. Florida's court-registry rule (Florida Statute 83.60) requires a tenant who wants to contest to deposit the rent into the court registry within five business days of service, or lose every defense except payment. At portfolio scale, that means most contested files still resolve in a fast default, as long as the underlying notice and service were clean. Get the front end right and the system works in your favor at volume.

The Most Common Mistakes the Firm Sees from Managers
The cases that go sideways usually fail at the front end, before a judge ever sees them. The recurring ones are:
- Demanding the wrong amount on the 3-day notice, such as folding late fees or utilities into the rent, which can invalidate the notice.
- Miscounting the notice period, which excludes Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, and filing too early.
- Accepting a partial payment without following one of the statutory steps, which can waive the eviction for that month.
- Weak proof of service, which lets a tenant dispute when and whether they received the notice.
None of these are complicated once a consistent process is in place. They are simply the things that get missed when evictions are handled ad hoc across a busy portfolio.
Residential, Commercial, and Everything in Between
Managers rarely have only one kind of tenant. The firm handles residential nonpayment and holdover cases, and also commercial evictions, which run under a different part of Florida law and lean heavily on the lease. If your portfolio includes storefronts, offices, or other commercial space, see how commercial evictions work in Florida, since those cases follow separate rules.
What It Costs
For uncontested residential cases, the attorney fee is a flat $295, and the all-in cost for one tenant (filing fee, summons, process server, and attorney fee) is about $530. Commercial matters and contested cases are quoted based on the lease and the dispute. For the full residential breakdown, see how much a Florida eviction costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the firm work with property management companies in Florida?
Yes. The firm regularly handles evictions for landlords and the property managers who act on their behalf, across residential and commercial properties throughout Florida. With more than 35,000 eviction cases handled, the practice is built for managers who need consistent, repeatable handling across a portfolio.
Do you handle evictions statewide or only in South Florida?
The firm's eviction practice is statewide, covering all of Florida. That lets a property manager with units in several counties use one firm rather than coordinating different local attorneys for each market.
How much does an eviction cost for a property manager?
For an uncontested residential eviction, the attorney fee is a flat $295, with an all-in cost of about $530 for one tenant once the filing fee, summons, and process server are included. The flat fee makes per-file cost easy to report to owners. Commercial and contested cases are quoted separately.
How fast can you file an eviction for one of our properties?
Once a proper notice has run and the file is complete, an uncontested residential eviction typically takes about 4 to 5 weeks from filing to removal, because Florida uses an expedited summary procedure. Clean notices and solid proof of service are what keep cases on that timeline.
Can you handle both residential and commercial evictions for our portfolio?
Yes. The firm handles residential nonpayment and holdover cases as well as commercial evictions. Commercial cases run under a different part of Florida law and depend heavily on the lease, so they are handled accordingly, but a manager can route both types to the same firm.
What is the most common mistake property managers make in evictions?
The most common failures happen before filing: demanding the wrong amount on the 3-day notice, miscounting the notice period, accepting a partial payment without protecting the case, or having weak proof of service. Each is avoidable with a consistent process, and each can otherwise delay or sink a winnable case.
Do you offer services in Spanish?
Yes. The firm works in both English and Spanish, which helps when communicating with tenants and documenting the case across a diverse portfolio.
What do we need to send you to start an eviction?
Generally the lease, a current payment ledger or rent history, the tenant names, and any notice you have already served. The firm will confirm what it needs for your specific case. To start a single residential eviction, you can begin online, or contact the firm to set up handling for multiple properties.
