How Does Filing an Eviction Case Work?
All eviction requests are submitted to us through our online portal, by our clients. Next, the request and supporting documents are each reviewed and approved by one of our experienced attorneys, and then, they’re processed and sent to the courthouse for filing (overnight or electronically) by our processing team.
Filing and Process of Services fees are paid up front and you are invoiced with convenient 30-day terms.
Once you’ve completed the registration process, you will be able to log in to your account through our online portal and begin submitting and managing your eviction cases. We encourage you to manage all of your cases and make requests/ask questions of us through the Contact Us portion of our website. You’ll also want to make sure you keep an eye on your email: all case-related updates, reminders, and Invoices will come to you via email. When you do have questions, simply log in to the portal and you’ll find that much of the information you need is already posted there. But if you have eviction-related legal questions, our team of attorneys is always available to answer those questions with no additional charges – they’re a built-in part of our service to our clients.

Working With Courts
In Florida, tenant will be asked to respond to the court.
Tenant Is Served
In Florida, the tenant has five (5) days from the date they were served, excluding weekends and legal holidays, to file an Answer.
For non-payment of rent cases, the tenant must also deposit all past due rent into the Registry of the Court or, alternatively, file a Motion contesting the amount of rent owed and asking the Judge to determine the correct amount.
Possible Hearing
In Florida, a tenant is not guaranteed a hearing, even if they file an Answer and pay their past due rent into the Registry of the Court. However, whether a Judge will grant a hearing on any given matter varies by jurisdiction and on the specific facts of the case. If a hearing is scheduled for one of your cases, someone from your property must attend the hearing.
