Hollywood possession matters can involve year-round rentals, seasonal units, condominiums, and commercial leases. We review the tenancy and records before recommending the appropriate notice or court action.
Eviction cases for Hollywood properties are filed in Broward County Court. Court assignment depends on applicable filing requirements; the city name alone does not determine the hearing location. See the Broward Clerk's eviction information and our Broward eviction services.
Residential nonpayment of rent. For residential nonpayment, we review the rent demand, service, and deadline under Florida Statute 83.56. The three-day period excludes the day of delivery, Saturdays, Sundays, and court-observed holidays. Filing follows expiration of the applicable notice period and confirmation that the case is ready. Lease terms, housing programs, and service methods may require additional review.
Notice review and corrections. A notice error can delay a case and may require correction. For residential cases covered by Florida Statute 83.60(1)(a), the landlord must have an opportunity to cure notice or pleading deficiencies before dismissal. Tell us about any payment received or dispute over the amount demanded before filing.
Seasonal and short-term holdovers. The correct possession process depends on the agreement and the nature of the occupancy. We review the lease, term, renewal language, and any required notice before filing. Section 83.57 addresses tenancies without a specific duration; it is not the notice rule for every seasonal arrangement.
Condo investor units. Provide the lease, association notices, and relevant occupancy restrictions. We review how association issues affect the possession case and identify any additional work that needs separate authorization.
Commercial eviction. For storefronts, offices, warehouses, and other commercial space, we review Chapter 83, Part I and the lease together. Contractual notice periods, service provisions, and opportunities to cure must be checked before the next step.
Occupants without a written lease. A missing written lease does not by itself make the case an unlawful detainer. We review any oral agreement, rent payments, and permission to occupy before deciding whether eviction, unlawful detainer, or another remedy applies.
Timing depends on the agreement, notice requirements, service, the tenant's response, and court scheduling. We provide a case-specific estimate after reviewing your documents. Contested matters and disputes about the right to possession may take longer.
The usual sequence is document and notice review, filing after the required notice period, service, any response or hearing, and judgment. Return of possession is a separate step. Where a writ is required, the sheriff posts the 24-hour notice described in Florida Statute 83.62 before restoring possession; sheriff scheduling can affect the final date.
In residential possession cases, Florida Statute 83.60(2) generally requires a tenant raising defenses other than payment to deposit rent into the court registry or timely file a supported motion to determine rent. The initial deadline is five days after service, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The payment defense, rent-determination motions, subsidies, and court orders can affect the analysis. We review the docket and applicable requirements before requesting a default or other relief.
There is no fixed completion date. Notice compliance, service, tenant responses, court scheduling, and sheriff scheduling affect the timeline. We provide a case-specific estimate after reviewing your documents and distinguish final judgment from return of possession.
Eviction actions for Hollywood properties are filed in Broward County Court. We review the property location and applicable court assignment before filing electronically through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal.
It may be, depending on the agreement and the nature of the occupancy. We review the lease term, renewal provisions, notice requirements, and any payments accepted after the stated end date before recommending the appropriate possession process.
Association restrictions, notices, and separate claims may affect how the matter is handled. Send those documents with your lease so we can review their effect on the possession case and identify any additional work outside the agreed scope.
Our residential and commercial eviction representation is offered at a flat fee from filing through final judgment, including motions and hearings within that matter. No hourly billing. Request a written breakdown of court filing, summons, and service costs before hiring us. Notice preparation and posting are one separate service. Sheriff/writ work is one separate service and charge. Work beyond the agreed scope is separately confirmed in writing. Final judgment and return of possession are separate milestones.
