Just cause eviction rules in Indian River County, FL — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Indian River County has no just-cause eviction rule. Under Florida Statute §83.56(3) a landlord may end a tenancy for nonpayment with a 3-day written notice, excluding weekends and holidays, then file to evict. No local reason requirement applies.
Florida imposes no good-cause standard. For nonpayment, §83.56(3) lets a landlord terminate after a written demand giving the tenant three days — excluding Saturday, Sunday, and legal holidays — to pay or move. A month-to-month tenancy ends with 30 days' notice under §83.57. When a fixed lease expires, the landlord need not renew or state a reason. Indian River County, Vero Beach, and Sebastian cannot add a just-cause requirement, relocation payment, or good-cause defense, because §83.425 preempts residential-tenancy regulation to the state. The tenant's protection is the court process: proper notice, a hearing, and a judgment before the sheriff removes anyone.
A landlord who serves a defective notice or attempts a self-help lockout can have the eviction dismissed and owes the tenant damages under §83.67, which bars shutting off utilities or changing the locks.
