If you evict it must be for cause as stated in the lease or for violation of the state's landlord act in Florida so what you need to do is get some legal advice as to how their actions are violating your lease or what your rights are in collecting for these damages.
Here is some research links that might help you

Evict them...you have that power as the landlord. Did they have to give a security deposit? Because don't give them it back. Also, if you have to evict them the terms of the contract for breaking the lease still apply. So if they break the lease and the contract states they lose the security deposit and have to pay for x months of rent then you can take them to court and win, easily. |

Hi,
You can do a no cause eviction. This is common in most States. Check to see if this is an option for Fl. At the same time file for rent escrow, so they pay rent into court during the eviction proceedings. This will get them out quicker.
Also, the Landlords of Vermont are trying to get our Laws changed to make destruction of property a criminal offense. In most States this falls under the Civil Law, which means monies are seldom collected for damages due the Landlord. Please help change our Laws by signing our petition at gopetition.com You can type landlord at the search line and our petition will come up. You can also change the Laws in your State by doing something similar. Good Luck!!!! |

Your lease should contain provisions that allow you to evict them legally. It is your place! Leases are designed more to protect the owner -- not the tenant.
I know landlords kick out tenants during their lease all the time. Just document what they are destroying, and then get a court order to evict them.
The only catch is if Florida law for renters is like California law. In California, you cannot evict them. Check with a lawyer! |

There are legal procedures you can follow. Especially if it's in the contract for them to keep your place up. You can EVICT EVICT EVICT!!!!!!!! Just make sure to create paper trails and take photos before you take legal action |

Check your copy of the lease they signed. I am a landlord in PA and I just evicted a couple in the middle of their lease because they were destroying the place, the police there several times and I could write a book on what I put up with for three years. The lease I used says that a landlord can end the lease at anytime with 30 days written notice and you do not have to give them reason. If your lucky enough to get them out, take lots of pictures so you'll have proof of damages when you take them to court to re-cop your losses. |

Check the landlord/tenant laws in Florida, but I am sure you can send them lease violations for the damages and give them a warning, offense and final offense. After that, you can give them a notice to vacate (be sure to use the state forms or it will get dismissed). If they do not comply, you DO NOT accept thier rent and start eviction proceedings. It is not that expensive to file, maybe $150 or so and boot thier *** out |

Check with your local housing board. If the damage they cause is above and beyond normal wear and tear, it is usually grounds for eviction, regardless of lease terms. |

They broke the lease by not cleaning up( that is in the contract Isnt it?) they are obligated to abide by that rule . If you failed to put that in the contract , then you have no options unless there is a failure to pay rent, or deliberate property damage.
I would be glad to rent from you if the price is okay to fit the wife's budget (she gets a pension and some social security).
If interested in renting , contact me via the IM. |

We are also landlords and have had tenants that destroy and do not pay their rent. We went to court and had to file legal papers to get them out, it took about 4 months but was well worth it.. |

Get the tenants to pay for the damaged property. If they dont, is this not considered a breach of the lease? Surely there is something you can do. |

What your saying is the #1 reason why so many landlords are moving to 6 month or even month to month leases. If they are continually, intentionally destroying things that do not belong to them then you should be able to start the process of eviction regardless of the two years left. The tenants should be paying for the damages and the time invovled in the repairs not you. |
