A Florida Residential Eviction Summons is a legal document that informs a tenant of an impending eviction and serves as an official notice to vacate the property. It is issued by the court after a landlord has filed a complaint with the court and is usually the first step in the eviction process. There are two types of Florida Residential Eviction Summons: a 3-Day Eviction Summons and a 7-Day Eviction Summons. A 3-Day Eviction Summons is issued when the tenant has failed to pay rent or violated the terms of the lease. The tenant must vacate the property within three days of receiving the summons, or the landlord can take further legal action. A 7-Day Eviction Summons is issued when the tenant has committed a serious lease violation, such as engaging in criminal activity on the property, and must vacate the property within seven days of receiving the summons.
