    Default Tenant Won't Move Out at the End of a Short-Term Lease

    The owner of a Florida rental home passed away, and there was a tenant in the rental property at the time. The administrator of the estate entered into a two-month (60 day) rental agreement with the tenant, with the agreement that she would vacate at the end of the sixty day term. The tenant is now refusing to move out.

    How can the estate evict her from the home?

    Default Re: Tenant Won't Move Out at the End of a Short-Term Lease

    If the lease term is now over, the administrator may commence an eviction action. The eviction case would identify the estate of the landlord as the plaintiff, and would identify the adminstrator as the person prosecuting the eviction case.

    If the sixty day agreement was properly executed, then the estate can seek double rent for the time the tenant remains in residence following the end of the fixed lease term, and potentially recover other damages.

    The administrator should discuss the eviction procedure with the attorney for the estate.
