Fla. Stat. § 83.56 requires a 3-day notice to pay rent or vacate for nonpayment, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays from the count. For lease violations, the landlord serves a 7-day notice to cure (or a 7-day unconditional notice for repeat or non-curable violations). Only a court may order eviction through Florida's summary procedure.
Under § 83.56(3), for unpaid rent the landlord must serve written demand giving the tenant 3 days 'excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays' to pay or deliver possession, stating the amount owed and the deadline. For curable lease noncompliance, § 83.56(2) requires a 7-day notice to cure; for non-curable or repeat violations within 12 months, a 7-day unconditional notice to vacate applies. A landlord cannot self-evict. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord files an eviction action under the summary-procedure statute (Ch. 51), which moves fast: the tenant generally has 5 days to respond and must deposit disputed rent into the court registry, after which the court can enter judgment and issue a writ of possession.
No specific statutory penalty. A defective notice (wrong amount, miscounted days, or no court action) can have an eviction dismissed; a landlord who removes a tenant without a court order may face liability for damages under § 83.67 for prohibited self-help eviction.
