Q: I was left an eviction notice on my door today. It stated it was a 7 day curable eviction
I was left an eviction notice on my door today. It stated it was a 7 day curable eviction notice saying we did not comply with a term of our lease. However, they did not give the required 12 hours notice to enter as stated they have to by florida law. What do I do considering they only want to evict us because they illegally entered my home?
A: Landlord did not necessarily have to give you 12 hours notice-it depends on why they entered the property which isn’t clear from the above and I’m sure their reason for entering would coincide with the notice they gave. I suggest taking care of the alleged violation (if it exists) so that they don’t send you a subsequent notice to vacate. If you disagree with their reasons for the notice state your position in writing and send it to the landlord, but a seven day to cure is just a warning so there isn’t much to do now.
