 If you own a property in Miami-Dade but live out of town, then we can do everything through the mail. Just fill out the information under the contact us page and give us a call. We will send every form that needs to be signed to you and then you return them along with the required checks and we can proceed with the eviction.

The eviction process takes from 60 to 90 days depending on the amount of evictions the sheriff has to perform in a determined area. Our process will cut that time in half so you can assume control of your property faster.

Here is how the process works:

Step 1. Three Day Notice – This is the first step in the eviction process. You either post it yourself at the door or hand deliver the form in Miami. The three day notice notifies the tenant to pay the rent in full or vacate the property within three business days. It states the tenants name, address, amount of rent due, and date of notice. It is signed by landlord or property manager.

Step 2. Five Day Notice or Residential Evictions Summons – This form must be served by the sheriff or a private server to the tenant in Miami-Dade County. It states the case number, the plaintiff (landlord) and the defendant (plaintiff). It lets the tenant know that they have 5 days to answer to the court the reasons why they should not be forced to move.

Step 3. Complaint for Removal of Tenant – This form is part of the Five Day Notice and must be served to the tenant at the same time. A copy of the Three Day Notice and a copy of the lease must be included as part of the package. A $185.00 filing fee must be paid at the court plus $10.00 fee for each summons served and $40.00 sheriff’s fee for each service of the Five Day Notice.

Step 4. Default Package – This package is file approximately 10 days after the service only if the tenant has not answered the court. This package includes Affidavit of Non-Payment of Rent which must be notarized, Non-Military Affidavit, Motion for Default, Final Judgment for Removal of Tenant, Writ of Possession. There is a fee of $115.00 payable to the sheriff in advance.

Step 5. Writ of Possession – The judge will sign a Writ of Possession after receiving the Default Package and then it will be delivered to the Sheriff.

Step 6. Eviction – The sheriff will post a note at the door informing the tenant the date they must move out and when the eviction will take place, usually within 42 to 72 hours. The Sheriff will come back and evict tenant, everything will be removed from the premises and give possession of the property to the landlord.
