Evictions: Help for Owners

Sorry, But It’s Time To Go…

When a tenant is late with rent, we will typically serve them a 3-Day Notice To Pay or Quit. This usually gets their attention. If not, and it’s clear that they have no intention of paying, we will call you and present you with options. 

Evictions, while fairly quick and relatively inexpensive in Florida, are nevertheless a pain we can all do without. If we can work things out with a tenant, it may work our cheaper in the long run to do just that. In other cases, we may be left with no choice and we will usually seek redress from the court in the form of an eviction.

In Florida, if the tenant doesn’t request a hearing and / or fails to follow the instructions contained in the summons, we can usually effect the eviction on your behalf, without any need to involve an attorney or incur substantial expense (less than $500).

On the other hand, if the court believes that the tenant has a case, and allows a hearing, you will be required to either attend the hearing yourself, or hire an attorney to represent you. Although this circumstance is rare, things can get expensive quickly, which is why eviction is usually a last resort.

Service Your Unit!
Like changing your vehicle’s oil, an AC unit needs to be regularly maintained. Usually once a year upkeep is recommended. Unfortunately, many owners forego this expense, which is a bad idea.

How Do I Know When It’s Time?
It may be time to pull out that check book if you have an AC unit that is more than 10 years old, and you are starting to get hit with monthly call-outs charges as a result of tenants calling for service. At some point, you will realize that with each invoice coming in at about $200-300 dollars, fixing it each month will prove more costly than replacing it.

At Condo Metropolis, we deal with this issue every month and we’ll talk with you if we are calling out AC techs on your behalf on a regular basis. If replacement is recommended, we will refer you to a preferred vendor that we trust, and we will co-ordinate the installation for you. Rest assured, Condo Metropolis enjoys no kick-back on these installations and we will not advise replacement for the fun of
