Q: i am being evicted under the base of a holdover. i need more time to get out of the commercial building i have rented
i have rented this building for 12 years and asked for 90 days to move out. the owner said no and gave me 30 days. i have always paid rent and i am not behind at this time. the state is Florida
Is there anything i can do to slow the process? i do not mind leaving as i have already started packing things up.
A: Not really. You have 30 days. If you need more time and the LL won't give you more time, that's the end of it. There's no legal action to get more time. The fact that you've always paid your rent on time is immaterial. Sorry, but there is no credit for past on-time payments. 30 days is what you have. Make the most of it. the only saving grace you MIGHt have is whether the 30 day notice was served properly and the 30 days is pursuant to the statute, so you might want to see a lawyer, but then you're talking $ and wasting time.
