We completed a Broward County Eviction Service yesterday in the city of Margate, Florida. The tenant owed over $7,000 dollars in back rent. The landlord waited too long before starting the eviction process. The eviction took less than a month. The landlord was very eager to finish the eviction fast so he can take possession of the property. He wanted the tenant out in order to start collecting rent money again.
We filed all the customary paperwork including, Three Day Notice, Summons, Default Package, and finally Writ of Possession. The tenant answered the court so the eviction process took longer. Finally the judge signed the Final Judgment and the Writ of Possession was issued and sent to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office for eviction. Our Broward County Eviction Service includes the city of Margate.
The Sheriff called me to schedule the eviction. We accompany the Sheriff in our Broward County Eviction Service at no extra charge. I met the Sheriff at the premises at 12 am. The Sheriff knocked hard on the front door but no one answered. The tenants were not home. They went to work knowing the Sheriff would come and evict them at any moment. I did not have the keys to the property so we had to climb through an open window and open the door for the Sheriff.
The Sheriff went inside the house and made sure it was vacant. The door was closed and locked in one of the bedrooms upstairs. The Sheriff said she had to go inside the room. We broke the lock and allow the Sheriff to go in. The room was empty. We finished in a very short time. The house was cleared so the Sheriff posted the notice on the door. The eviction was completed.
The Sheriff’s Notice in Broward County Eviction Service reads as follows, “Court order for eviction has been completed and in accordance with said order persons were removed and the landlord has been put in possession of the premises named in the court order. Note: Personal property in the residence at time of eviction is either at the property line or in the landlord’s care and the locks were changed. Any animals found unattended at this location were removed by Animal Control (954) 970-0139 or 359-1313. Warning!!! The local law enforcement agency of jurisdiction will conduct a criminal investigation of crimes committed on the above listed property. This will not be treated as civil action. Any attempt by the tenant to enter onto this property may result in criminal charges and/or arrest of the violator. Sheriff Office Broward County, Florida”.
The tenant did not move and had no intention of moving. The house was full of items including, furniture, computers, cloth, TV, food in the refrigerator, tools, etc. The tenant ignored the Sheriff’s notice posted at the door a few days before. Yam, the landlord, called and asked me to talk to the tenant. We did not want to take or throw away anything from the house. We wanted to give the tenant and opportunity to take his stuff. We allowed the tenant to go back into the property to take all his belongings. The tenant took everything out and left. Our Broward County Eviction Service is fast and efficient.

We completed another eviction last week at an apartment building near Little Haiti and downtown Miami.
Today, the Miami Dade County Sheriff’s office called me to schedule three different eviction of tenants on the same day. All three evictions were in the city of Hialeah, Florida. It is very unusual for our Miami Dade Eviction Service office to have multiple evictions on the same day. I advised the individual landlords of the day and time. We went a few days before to check the properties. All the tenants had abandoned the property already. No eviction was needed since all three landlords already had taken possession of the property.
All the tenants had left the premises as soon as they were served the Sheriff’s Notice. I advised the landlords that the Sheriff was doing the eviction on Thursday Feb 18, 2010. One landlord said to cancel the Sheriff since the tenants had left and he had already taken possession of the property. The other two landlords decided to allow the Sheriff to go to the property and post the eviction notice. It is always a good practice to allow the Sheriff to carry through with the Miami Dade eviction and post the eviction sticker notice on the door. 
The Sheriff arrived at 11:15 am at the property in Hialeah Gardens. We opened the door and he went in to make sure no one was inside and the property was empty. He quickly placed the sticker on the door and left to the other property. I followed the Sheriff since he was the one who had called me earlier to schedule the evictions. It is part of our Miami Dade Eviction Service. We repeated the same procedure at the other property in West Hialeah. The time was 11:45 am and the Sheriff left to execute yet another eviction. 
I was told last week that there were 43 evictions a day in Miami Dade County. Each Sheriff performs 16 evictions a day and they work in teams. The Miami Dade County Sheriff’s office does an excellent job taking into account the overwhelming amount of work they perform on a daily basis. Doing three evictions in one day is nothing new for the Miami Dade County Sheriff’s office. We have several evictions scheduled for next week in both Miami Dade County and Broward County. Our office is averaging about 10 to 12 evictions per week. Our Miami Dade Eviction Service is very busy. None of the evictions are scheduled for the same day. 
We completed another eviction in Miami, Florida. The landlord lives in Virginia and needed our eviction services very badly. The tenant was living rent free in the property for over four months. We spoke on the phone and emailed all the pertinent information. It is very difficult to be a landlord when you live out of state. The landlord, Aleyda, was desperate to see the tenants evicted. The landlord could not wait. We started the eviction process immediately.
Our latest eviction is taking place in Hialeah. This is not a regular eviction. The landlord is evicting his own son in law. The landlord is very upset that afer his daughter left her husband four months ago the husband stayed in the property. The tenant stayed in the premises refusing to leave and refusing to pay rent. The father had no other choice but to evict his own son in law.
At first the landlord thought of taking the law in his own hands. He was protecting his daughter like a tiger and was ready to physically take the tenant out and make him pay for his actions. He wanted to disconnect the water, shut down the electricity, among other things. His own daughter convinced him that it was better to hire someone and go through the eviction process. We started the eviction paperwork right away after he contacted us.
I started the eviction immediately. The landlord was desperate in the beginning and wanted to get the tenant out right away. The son in law has refused to leave in several occasions and has refused several offers made to him by the landlord. The tenant informed everyone he will not leave the property and will wait until the end. The only way the tenant will leave is when the Sheriff evicts him.
We are now in the final process of the eviction process. The judge already signed the Writ of Possession and we are waiting for the Sheriff. We will accompany the Sheriff to the premises. We will change the locks and take possession of the property. The father/landlord can’t wait. He wants me to call him first so he can meet us at the property and witness the eviction. He wants the personal satisfaction of watching and being part of the eviction. 
Do not take the law in your own hands. Don’t gamble and let your emotions get the better of you. It is not worth it. Do the eviction the right way. Don’t make a stupid mistake in a heated moment that you will regret later. We will evict, fix, rent and collect. We will evict the non-paying tenant, fix and repair the property, rent the property to a good paying tenant and collect the rent for you every month.
I have completed another eviction in South Florida. The Pembroke Pines eviction was completed in about two weeks. The tenant left the premises when the default papers were signed by the judge. The landlord has decided to let us manage the property since she lives in New York.
I met the Sheriff at the property at 11:30 am. He asked if the tenant was still inside the premises. I said no, they left last week and there is nothing inside that belongs to them. No furniture, no clothes, nothing at all according to a neighbor. The Sheriff went inside as I waited by the front door. The house was vacant. He placed the Sheriff’s notice sticker at the front door and gave me possession of the house. We changed the locks. I took pictures of the house inside and out for my records. I also used those pictures to advertise the property to rent it back out.
I helped a landlord from New Jersey get possession of his rental property located in Orlando, Florida. The landlord read my blog and contacted me about doing an eviction. I told him we did not go to Orlando since we are based in Miami South Florida. Simon insisted and said he would pay double my usual fee if I would help him to negotiate with the tenant. We agreed on terms and I called the tenant in Orlando right away. 
There were 10 people living in the property and finding the person who made the decisions was not easy. The tenant had not paid for months and the landlord was paying for all utilities including water and sewer, and electricity. He even rented the house completely furnished. The tenant refused to talk to him and refused to leave. I talked to the head of the household who was a lady and the one that made all the decisions.
I was able convince the tenant to give us possession of the property by offering the lady some money for her to leave with a promise that the landlord would not go after her for the rent owed. She agreed to leave but wanted the money first and then she would go. After lengthy negotiation over the phone she agreed to leave the premises and receive the money at the same time. She agreed to leave on Tuesday, December 01, 2009. A friend of the landlord who lives nearby agreed to give the tenant the money, take the keys and possession of the property.
On the day of the exchange the landlord’s friend changed her mind and said she was afraid to go to the house. She wanted to meet at a bank or at a police station. 
I informed the landlord that we had possession of the property and that the nightmare was over. The landlord said he can now get a good night’s sleep. He is very happy an impressed with my negotiating skills. I always try to negotiate with the tenant first. If that does not work then we start the eviction process. Negotiating with the tenant is the key. The bottom line is to get the deadbeat tenant out fast, get possession of the property and rent to a good paying tenant. 
We just completed and eviction in Miami. The owners Roberto and Ciro live in Argentina full time and are not here to take care of the house and to collect the rent on a timely manner. This is a recipe for disaster. The landlords needed my eviction and rental services very badly. The tenants did not pay for three months and finally Ciro hired my services to evict, fix, rent, and collect. After the deadbeat tenant is out we will rent the house to a good paying tenant and deposit the rent in their account every month. We also look inside the house to make sure everything is well kept and maintained. We finished the eviction very fast and took possession of the property.
The house was in terrible shape. It looked like a hurricane just went through the house. The door frames were broken from the seams. They did not open the door with their hands but were kicking it open instead. The house was very dirty and no cleaning was ever done here. The stove is broken and the self cleaning oven was completely black inside. The air conditioner filter has not been changed for months. The unit was leaking and it needed a coil cleaning so the unit would not freeze. 
We are now in the process of painting the house inside and out, throwing out all the garbage, repairing the broken door frames, repairing the holes in the wall, do the landscaping. This is a new service we offer and is additional to the eviction service and property management service. Items left behind were broken TV’s, sofas, beds and other furniture, clothes, broken bicycles. The property will be repaired and painted by Tuesday.
Our services are Better, Faster, Cheaper. I will place all the appropriate advertising in order to rent the house again fast. Our advertising includes, The MLS, The Miami Herald, El Clarin, The Flyer, and many other local newspaper and magazines. In addition we advertise and syndicate all over the internet to various real estate, regular website and portals. Our advertising includes my blog and website at 
We will Evict, Fix, Rent, Collect. Our main goal to is get rid of deadbeat tenants, fix up the house, get a new good paying tenant in right away and collect the rent money every month. This process can not take three or four months. The property must be rented fast in order to bring much needed cash flow to the landlord. If the tenant does not pay the rent for months the landlord will not be able to pay the mortgage and the property will go into foreclosure. Don’t worry about tenants, repairs, collection, anymore. Let us handle everything. We will evict, fix, rent, and collect for you.
The tenant who is a plumber did not want to go through the whole eviction process and subsequent nightmare. He decided to give me the keys right there and possession of the warehouse in Homestead, Florida. The landlord saved all the court fees, server fees, sheriff fees, and also saved valuable time. He was pleasantly surprised that I came back with the keys in my hand and a letter signed by the tenant giving us possession of the property by Thursday. It is very unusual for the tenant to leave immediately but it happens sometimes.
I always talk to the tenant first at the same time I post the three day notice. This approach works sometimes but not always. When the tenant refuses to listen, and communication breaks down the eviction is inevitable. We then start the eviction process immediately. Negotiating is fine but the tenant must know that I am not playing and I am ready to evict right away.
My eviction services include filing all the paperwork. This includes Three Day Notice, Five Day Notice or Residential Evictions Summons, Complaint for Removal of Tenant, Default Package, Writ of Possession, Meeting with Sheriff, Final Eviction. Most evictions do not through the whole process. We are not attorneys and we do not offer legal advice. Eviction Service. Se habla español. We will find a new tenant for you. Get the deadbeat tenant out and get a good paying tenant in right away.
The key is face to face negotiation with tenants before starting the eviction process. This approach is unusual but very effective. I think I am the only one that uses this approach in Miami South Florida. It takes a lot of work and negotiating skills. Most eviction services are not willing to talk to the tenant at all. We offer Eviction Services in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Free Three Day Notice. Eviction Negotiations. Get your non-paying tenant out right away.
We completed an eviction in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in Broward County. The eviction took about three weeks to be completed. The tenant refused to leave the premises and waited for the Sheriff at the front door. It is unusual to find the tenant still inside the property. The tenant did not argue with the Sheriff and decided to cooperate with the eviction.
