Q: I'm in Alachua county Florida...I have a lease with landlord and I have to send the rent through the mail.
Its 6 days late and he put a notice of 3 days on my door...can he legally put me out?! It's not my fault the mail is slow!! Not like I didn't pay! Money order is dated the 3rd, which is the due date. I see you're assuming I didn't pay.
A: You admit rent is unpaid for almost a week now. Why would landlord not be able to evict you? You have 3 days to pay rent or leave or landlord will file eviction.
A: Yes, once the 3 day notice of posted you have only 3 days to cure the rent. Thus the landlord has the right to evict you based upon the rent being late if he chooses.
