West Palm Beach Unlawful Detainer Lawyers
Does your couch look like this every morning? It is quite common for living arrangments over time to come to an end and after the Owner of the property asks politely for the no longer welcome occupant to leave, but they refuse to do so. Whether the now unauthorized occupant is a family member, ex- boyfriend or girlfriend, a friend, or a squatter, they remain in your property and you want them out.

The most common question that knowledgeable West Palm Beach Unlawful Detainer Lawyers should first ask to their clients is if there is a Landlord-Tenant relationship? To help see if a Landlord-Tenant relationship exists, the Owner needs to determine:

(1) if there has been an exchange of payment ("rent") to live at the property; and

(2) if the occupant has been given a fixed period of time to occupy the property.

If the answer to both questions is NO, in most cases, depending on several factors which your experienced West Palm Beach Unlawful Detainer Lawyers will point out to you, your living arrangement will most likely fall outside of a traditional Eviction or Ejectment action and into the category of what's known as a Florida Unlawful Detainer action which is governed by F.S. Chapter 82. If you're a homeowner in South Florida and are dealing with one of below issues, contact our office today.
