Residential and Commercial Eviction Representation

Navigating Florida eviction statutes demands strict compliance with mandatory statutory procedures. A single procedural error can delay regaining possession of a rental unit for weeks or incur unexpected litigation expenses. Alexander Patrick Johnson assists property owners and leasing companies in navigating every phase of the eviction process smoothly and lawfully. Whether resolving non-payment of rent, non-monetary lease defaults, or holdover tenancies, the firm moves aggressively to secure lawful possession through the local county court system:

• Statutory notice preparation: Drafting and serving compliant three-day notices for non-payment, seven-day notices to cure or vacate, and thirty-day termination notices for month-to-month tenancies.
• Residential evictions: Filing summary possession complaints, handling summons processing, and coordinating with the county sheriff to execute writs of possession quickly.
• Commercial lease evictions: Prosecuting commercial tenant removals, addressing complex business leases, and recovering damages for accelerated rental arrears.
• Unlawful detainer actions: Removing non-paying houseguests, former domestic partners, or unauthorized occupants when no landlord-tenant relationship exists.
• Security deposit disputes: Advising landlords and tenants on statutory notice requirements, claim letters, and deposit recovery litigation under Florida law.
• Real estate closings and contracts: Overseeing purchase and sale transactions, drafting protective lease clauses, and resolving title insurance issues.
