Complaint For Eviction

COMPLAINT FOR EVICTION. This form is used in the County Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit in Duval County, Florida, to initiate a legal action by a landlord (plaintiff) against a tenant (defendant) to regain possession of a rental property. This form is filed when a tenant fails to comply with the rental agreement, typically by not paying rent or violating other lease terms. The plaintiff, who owns the rental property, specifies the rental terms, including whether the agreement was oral or written, the rent amount and payment frequency, and whether a copy of the lease is attached. If the eviction is due to nonpayment of rent, the form states the amount due and confirms that the tenant was served with a notice to pay or vacate but failed to comply. If the eviction is for another lease violation, the form specifies the nature of the non-compliance. A copy of the required notice to vacate is attached as an exhibit. By filing this form, the landlord requests a court judgment for possession of the rental property, which, if granted, allows for legal eviction proceedings to continue, including potential involvement from the sheriff's office for enforcement. www.FormsWorkflow.com
