In Davie, landlords may run into issues with tenants failing to pay rent, disregarding lease conditions, or refusing to vacate at the end of their term. Florida law provides a clear path for legal resolution, but following the process precisely is essential. Legal errors—such as improper notice or delayed filings—can set your case back significantly. Our team is here to help property owners proceed effectively.
Our Law Office Is Ready to Assist
Kelley, Grant & Tanis Law represents landlords across Broward County. As members of the Florida Bar Association, our attorneys handle rental disputes, file court documents, and represent clients during eviction hearings. Call 877-871-8300 to speak with us about your rental property matter in Davie.
Assistance for Owners
Attempting to manage an eviction alone can be risky. Florida law requires specific timing and language for notices, and missteps can delay your case or result in its dismissal. We draft compliant notices, prepare filings, and represent you in court to help you recover possession of your property.
Limitations of Document-Preparation Services
Automated services that generate forms are not a substitute for legal representation. If a tenant contests your claim or files a counteraction, only a licensed attorney can respond and continue pursuing the case. We provide complete legal support from the first notice through final enforcement.
Representation for Hearings
Whether you live in Davie or manage your property remotely, we handle all necessary court filings and attend hearings on your behalf. Our attorneys are experienced with eviction proceedings throughout Broward County and can respond to tenant defenses quickly and accurately.
Legal Protocols for Removing a Tenant in Davie
Eviction proceedings must comply with Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes. Legal complaints are filed with the Broward County Clerk of Courts, and enforcement of writs of possession is handled by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
Grounds for Termination
Landlords may remove tenants for reasons such as:
-
Missed or partial rent payments
-
Repeated violations of lease terms
-
Unauthorized occupants or prohibited activity
We help determine the appropriate notice period and type based on the situation.
Early Steps
When a tenant leaves voluntarily after receiving notice, legal action may not be necessary. If they remain on the property, we file a formal complaint and initiate the eviction process through the court.
Unopposed Eviction Process
-
Serve a Three-Day, Seven-Day, or Thirty-Day Notice
-
Allow the required waiting period
-
File a complaint with the Broward County Clerk
-
Serve court documents to the tenant
-
Request default judgment if no answer is filed
-
Obtain a writ of possession
-
Schedule enforcement with the Sheriff’s Office
Contested Proceedings
If the tenant responds with a defense, the case may proceed to mediation or trial. Our attorneys handle all filings, responses, and representation throughout the dispute.

Davie Lease Dispute FAQ
What if a tenant is consistently late but eventually pays?
Frequent late payments may still qualify as a breach of lease. We help determine if the situation justifies formal action.
Do I need to serve a written lease to proceed with the eviction?
Not always. Even oral agreements can be enforceable under Florida law, depending on the circumstances.
How long does the eviction process take in Davie?
Uncontested cases typically conclude within four to six weeks. Contested matters may take longer, depending on court schedules.
What if the tenant claims repairs weren’t made?
Tenants may raise repair issues as a defense. We’ll review your maintenance history and respond accordingly in court.
