Tenant not paying rent? Inquilino não paga?

Home / Typography / Real Estate Law / Tenant not paying rent? Inquilino não paga?
by CPLS, PA
Real Estate Law, Simone Freitas

Florida is a Landlord friendly state, which is great news for foreign buyers who want investment properties.  Many foreign buyers become Landlords with Tenants who pay a monthly rent to help offset their costs or mortgage.  However, if Tenants don’t comply with the rental agreement and/or pay the rent, then the Landlords must take action to reserve their legal rights.

If your Tenant has failed to comply with the rental agreement, the State requires that Landlords ‘terminate the tenancy’ which is done when a Landlord gives a Tenant written notice to either comply or vacate the property.   If the Tenant still refuses to leave despite the notice, the Landlord can then file the eviction lawsuit.

Evictions are filed for a variety of reasons.  Here are a few:

What if the Tenant isn’t paying rent?

A Landlord can give a Tenant a Three Day Notice to Quit, which demands that the Tenant pay or vacate the property within three days. Failure to do either can result in an eviction lawsuit.

What if the Tenant isn’t following the rental agreement?

A Landlord can give a Tenant a Seven Day Notice to Cure if the Tenant isn’t abiding by the rental agreement, but could easily be  back into compliance.  Some examples of non-compliance with a rental agreement are Tenants other than those listed on the agreement to residing at the property, or having a pet when one is not allowed.  In these cases, the Landlord can inform the Tenant that they have 7 days to comply with the agreement, or be faced with an eviction lawsuit.

What if the Tenant is out of control?

A Landlord can also give the Tenant a Seven Day Notice to Vacate the property if they willfully destroy the property, repeat the same lease violation(s) within a 12 month period, or causes significant disturbances.

If a Tenant remains on the property seven days after receiving the Notice , then an eviction lawsuit can be filed.  If the reason for the eviction is the non-payment of rent, and the Tenant wants to defend the action, then the Florida Courts mandate payment of the rental amount on the face of the Notice into the State Registry.

It is important to note that in Florida, it is illegal for a Landlord to force a Tenant to leave; the Tenant only has to leave once the Landlord has won an eviction lawsuit. If the Tenant still refuses to leave, a sheriff is called to physically remove them and their belongings.

Evictions can be confusing and difficult to navigate.  Experienced eviction attorney Simone Freitas can help you manage Tenants who won’t comply with rental agreements; call her today at 407-647-7887 to set up a consultation.

Inquilino não paga?

Um proprietário pode achar muitos benefícios em obter imovéis na Florida, pois este estado tem leis que favorecem proprietários. Muitos investidores estrangeiros são proprietários com inquilinos quem pagam aluguel cada mes, que ajuda com os custos  mensales ou com o hipoteca. Mas as vezes, o inquilino não paga o aluguel ou ele não segue o contrato de aluguel. Nessa situação, o proprietário precisa tomar medidas para reservar o direito legal seu.

Se um inquilino não há comprido com o contrato de aluguel, o estado exige que o proprietário rescinde o contrato de aluguel. E como fazer isso? O proprietário tem que notificar por escrito ao inquilino que é preciso ou cumprir com o contrato de aluguel ou sair da propriedade. Se o inquilino resiste depois de receber a notificação, o proprietário pode inciar um processo de despejo.

Existem varias razões para inciar um processo de despejo:

Se o inquilino não paga o alguel?

O proprietário pode dar por escrito ao inquilino um ‘Three Day Notice to Quit’ que é uma notificação que informa o inquilino que ele  pode ou pagar o aluguel ou sair da propriedade em tres dias. Se o inquilino não cumprir, o proprietário pode inciar um processo de despejo.

Se o inquilino não cumpre o contrato de aluguel?

Se o inquilino falha cumprir, mas é razoável  que ele pode cumprir com o contrato de novo, o proprietário pode dar, por escrito, um ‘Seven Day Notice to Cure’. Essa notificação diz que o inquilino tem sete dias de cumprir com o contrato de aluguel, ou enfrenta um processo de despejo. Alguns exemplos de incumprimento são se alguém mora na propriedade além do inquilino indicado no contrato de aluguel, ou se um inquilino tem um animal de estimação proibido.

Se o inquilino fica fora de controle?

Se o inquilino destrue a propriedade deliberadamente, repete as mesmas violações de contrato de aluguel dentro dum prazo de 12 meses, ou causa perturbção significante, o proprietário pode dar por escrito o ‘Seven Day Notice to Vacate’. Após disso, o inquilino tem sete dias em que sair. Se não sair, o proprietário pode iniciar um processo de despejo.

Se a razão por pedir despejo é falhar de pagar alugel e o inquilino quer defender o caso, a corte da Florida manda que inquilino paga ao ‘State Registry’ – que é uma conta do estado – o valor que esta escrita na notificação escrita.

É importante saber que na Florida, o proprietário não pode expulsar um inquilino; o inquilino só tem que sair após de perder o processo de despejo. Se depois de perder o inquilino ainda não sai, um xerife vai a propriedade para remover o inquilino e os seus pertences.

O despejo pode ser confusate e difícil de navegar. Advogada Simone Freitas tem muita experiência nessa área de lei, e ela pode te ajudar gerir inquilinos que não cumprem com contratos de aluguel. Faz contato hoje, liga 407-647-7887 para agendar uma consulta.
