A fatal error that I see many Landlords make in drafting the 3-Day Notice is in calculating the 3-day period in which the Tenant in residential property has to pay rent or vacate the premises before the Landlord can legally file an eviction action.
A common oversight is the omission of “legal holidays” in determining the 3-day period. Landlords should check with the Clerk of the Court in the county in which the investment property is located for a list of the legal holidays observed by the Court sitting in that jurisdiction.
The drafting of 3-Day Notices can be done by Landlords without the assistance of legal counsel, however it is advisable that Landlords seek the advice of a Landlord / Tenant Attorney before issuing the notice.
If you have any questions about drafting a 3-Day Notice for your Florida rental property, please call my law office at (407) 835-8688. I offer free 3-Day Notices for Landlords with investment property in Orange & Osceola Counties.
