    Question Lease Expired - How Soon Before They Can Make Me Leave

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: FL

    My current lease expires 4/30 and the realty company has made it clear that there would be no lease extention. Housing is scarce here....and the only one that I've found won't be available for occupancy until 6/5. I hate to have an eviction on my record, but I have no where else for myself and my three children to go until 6/5. Can the realty company show up on 5/1 with the sheriff's department and make me vacate the house immediately or do they have to go through eviction proceedings. I'd rather have that on my record to buy me the time I need....than to be totally homeless.

    Did you try to negotiate the month or so extension?
    No they can't show up on 5/1 and throw you out, but they can instigate eviction proceedings which as you know will make it harder for you to find rental housing.

    Thank you for your reply. It gives me peace of mind! Yes, I did try to negotiate the extension....with no luck. I view another property today that will be ready for me to start moving into on 5/6 or so. Keep your fingers crossed!

    The other option is some sort of temporary housing such as an extended stay motel. Some of these are pretty seedy, but it's only a month.

    Whatever you do, you do not want an eviction on your public record. It will make it very very hard for you to rent in the future.
