Self-help eviction β changing locks, shutting off utilities, removing tenant belongings β is strictly illegal under F.S. Β§83.67 with damages of at least 3 months' rent plus attorney fees. Retaliatory eviction after tenant exercises a legal right is prohibited under F.S. Β§83.64. Volusia/cities cannot add local just-cause rules β preempted by Ch. 83.
