Our flat fee covers eviction filing through final judgment, including motions and hearings within the agreed matter. Notice preparation and posting are one separate service.

Landlord-only representation for every type of eviction in Miami-Dade County. Flat fee. Document review before next steps.
For a Miami rental, send the lease, payment ledger and any rent demand already served.

Most common eviction type →Lease expired and tenant won't leave? We handle holdover eviction cases for Miami-Dade landlords, whether the tenant refuses to vacate, continues paying rent month-to-month against your wishes, or disputes the end of tenancy.
Recover possession →Unauthorized occupants, pets, criminal activity, property damage, or other lease violations. We serve the correct 7-day notice and pursue eviction through Miami-Dade County Court when the tenant fails to cure or vacate.
Enforce your lease →An incorrect notice can delay a case and require correction. Section 83.60(1)(a) provides an opportunity to cure notice or pleading deficiencies before dismissal in the actions it covers. We review the notice, lease, ledger and delivery record before filing.
Start with a correct notice →We represent commercial landlords with nonpayment, holdover and lease-violation matters. Commercial lease terms and Chapter 83, Part I require a separate notice and procedure review; residential rules should not be assumed to apply.
Commercial landlords →When a tenant responds, we review the defenses, applicable court-registry requirements and court orders before recommending motions or preparing for a hearing. An answer does not automatically establish grounds to strike defenses.
Fight contested cases →Step by step: how FLA Evictions moves your Miami-Dade eviction from notice to writ of possession.
We prepare the legally compliant notice for your eviction type: 3-day notice for nonpayment, 7-day notice for lease violations, or proper termination notice for holdover tenants in Miami-Dade County.
Once the notice period expires without compliance, we file the eviction complaint directly in Miami-Dade County Court. Filing is prompt. Every day of delay is another day of lost rent.
The sheriff or authorized process server serves the summons and complaint. Response and registry deadlines generally run from service and must be calculated under the applicable rules. See the process guide for qualifications.
In a residential possession action, section 83.60(2) generally requires the tenant to deposit accrued rent alleged in the complaint, or file a properly supported motion to determine rent, within five days after service of process, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. The payment defense and other statutory qualifications must be considered; subsidized tenants deposit only their required portion. Rent that becomes due must also be addressed. We review service, filings and court orders before requesting relief; a missed deposit is not permission for self-help removal.
After judgment is entered in your favor, we obtain the Final Judgment for Removal of Tenant directing the tenant to vacate the premises by a specific date set by the court.
Once the tenant fails to vacate by the judgment date, we obtain a Writ of Possession. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office executes the writ and removes the tenant from your property.
Residential evictions in Miami-Dade are filed in Miami-Dade County Court, part of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, the largest judicial circuit in Florida. The county operates district courthouses, and your case is assigned based on where the rental property sits, not where you live. Filing in the correct district, with the correct fees and the correct number of summonses, is one of the small procedural details that delays cases when it is done wrong.
We review the complete property address, tenancy documents, notice, service and expiration date before filing through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal. Filing depends on complete documents and satisfaction of the applicable requirements; same-day filing is not guaranteed.
A large share of Miami-Dade rental property is owned by investors who live in another state or another country. If that is you, the eviction process should not require a flight to Florida.
You can begin intake remotely and provide documents electronically. We confirm signature requirements, any testimony or attendance needed, and available remote-hearing procedures for your case. Attorney representation does not eliminate a landlord’s possible obligation to testify or comply with a court order.
We also work in English and Spanish, which matters when your tenant, your property manager, and your documents do not all speak the same language.
Online eviction services charge less upfront, and they are worth exactly that price as long as nothing goes wrong. They are not law firms. They cannot give legal advice, cannot sign pleadings, cannot appear in court, and cannot fix a defective notice. They prepare paperwork, and in Miami-Dade, paperwork is not the hard part.
Before choosing a document service or legal representation, ask who reviews the facts, responds to defenses, appears at hearings and communicates about court orders. Compare the written scope and separate costs, not only a headline fee.

The most common eviction questions from Miami-Dade landlords and property owners.
