In Florida a landlord can issue a 7 day notice to vacate. There are two types. 7-Day Notice Without Right to Cure: This type of notice is used for serious violations such as intentional property damage, repeated disturbances, or repeated violations. To avoid an eviction action from being filed, tenants must vacate the property within 7 days, with no chance to fix the issue. (Reference: Fla. Stat. §. 83.56(2)(a)). If you believe you haven't violated the terms of the lease then you should put it in writing and ensure that you have delivered it to the landlord and have proof. Certified mail is generally a good way to do this. Silence can be taken as admission of the violation so put any response in writing and have proof of delivery. 7-Day Demand to Cure Notice: This type of notice is for less severe violations such as having unauthorized pets, guests, or vehicles or failing to keep the property clean. Tenants are given 7 days to adress the problem and avoid an eviction action being filed with the court.
