If you are living with a roommate in Florida, it is important to understand the laws that govern your living arrangement. In Florida, the rules for evicting a roommate depend on whether both names are on the lease or only one.
If both names are on the lease, then neither party can evict the other. However, if only one name is on the lease, then it is possible to evict a roommate.
To evict a roommate in Florida, you must follow the legal process, which involves giving notice of the eviction and allowing the roommate time to remedy the situation.
If the grounds for the eviction are related to a lease violation, such as having a pet when pets are not allowed, then the roommate must be given adequate time to find a new home for the pet. It is important to note that self-help measures, such as changing the locks or removing the roommate’s belongings, are illegal in Florida and can result in legal consequences.
