Property owners in Pompano Beach occasionally deal with tenants who miss payments, damage rental units, or refuse to leave once a lease expires. Florida statutes detail how landlords must approach eviction and lease enforcement, and failing to follow those rules can cause delays. Legal assistance helps ensure that every step, from notice through removal, is handled efficiently and in compliance with the law.

Assistance for Owners
Missed steps in the eviction process—such as incorrect notices or late filings—can result in your case being dismissed or delayed. We help ensure the proper notice is served, prepare court documents, and guide landlords through each legal stage to protect their rights.
Limitations of Document-Preparation Services
Automated platforms can supply basic forms but cannot offer legal advice or appear in court if a tenant disputes your claim. We provide the full legal backing needed to move forward, especially in cases where defenses are raised or the matter becomes contested.
Representation for Hearings
Our attorneys handle eviction proceedings in Broward County for both local and out-of-town landlords. We attend hearings, manage filings, and oversee communication with the court throughout the process.

Can I remove a tenant who is hosting unauthorized guests?
Yes, unauthorized occupancy may violate your lease. We help you issue a Seven-Day Notice and proceed with court filings if needed.
What happens if the tenant doesn’t respond to the notice?
If the legal timeframe passes without resolution, we’ll file the complaint and begin the formal eviction process through the courts.
