Q: I have a lease that says if landlord or tenant decides to terminate that they have 30 days to vacate. Landlord just hand
Delivered a 3 day quit notice and said if we're not out in 3 days he will sit our stuff on the curb. The notice says according to California law, but we're in Florida. Please help
A:
Your landlord sounds like they either don't know the law or don't care about the law.
You cannot be put out except with a court issued writ of possession. There are some exceptions (like hotel rooms).
The only Florida 3 day notice is for non payment of rent - and that does not give the landlord self-help.
Have the landlord clarify the notice and/or see an attorney.
A: I agree with Attorney Zaretsky. The landlord does not know Florida law. However, your best bet would be to hire a tenant attorney to contact the landlord to set him straight. I seriously doubt that you will be able to do so.
