Wellington Florida is known for its equestrian community and hosting equestrian events, notably show jumping, hunting, dressage and polo. And, as of 2017, the city had a population of 64,848 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, making it the most populous village in the state. And, in Wellington, just like every other village, city, town, and municipality in Florida, has Landlords that suffer from Tenants that fail to pay rent when due, holdover after their lease has expired or been terminated, and/or failure adhere to the material terms of their Florida Lease Agreements.

Legal Grounds For Evictions In Wellington
What are the legal grounds for filing a Florida Eviction? The legal grounds for Evictions are monetary breach of the Lease, non-monetary breach of the Lease, and for Tenant holding-over when their tenancy has either expired and/or has been terminated. A monetary breach of the Lease is when the Tenant fails to remit the monthly rental payment. A non-monetary breach of the Lease is when the Tenant fails to abide by the Lease Agreement. More specifically, and for example, where unauthorized occupants are residing in the property not on the Lease or when the Tenant creates a nuisance and breach of the peace. The non-monetary breaches of the Lease are lease specific. It is important to only Evict a Tenant on clear legal grounds as the Tenant will most likely defend him or herself. When it comes to a hold-over tenant, this is when either the duration of the lease has come to an end and the Tenant stays past the end date without the Landlord's permission and/or when the Landlord has terminated a month-to-month tenancy by providing notice as required under Florida Law and the Tenant fails to vacate on or before the date indicated in the Landlord's notice.
Time Is Of The Essence In Eviction Proceedings
As a Wellington Landlord, you have the option of accepting rent late or skipping whole months entirely. If this is done, you will most certainly be taken advantage of by your Tenant and it will cost you more in legal fees, and costs. Of course certain situations warrant different outcomes; however, a Landlord must not delay in filing the Eviction. If an Eviction is filed, the Landlord can always work on a Settlement Agreement wherein grave consequences will arise if and when a Tenant defaults on any terms of the Settlement Agreement.
Ensure Compliance With Florida Statute 83
Before a Florida Eviction is filed, it is important to ensure that all requirements of Florida Chapter 83 are followed. An Eviction is procedurally based and statute based here in Florida. If a Wellington Landlord does not adhere to the Florida Statutes, the Eviction may be dismissed on technical grounds. Florida Chapter 83 deals with the Florida Landlord/Tenant Laws and is an important tool in making sure the residential or non-residential tenancy runs smoothly.
