I paid my rent but the landlord claims I have violated the lease for another reason. What can I do?

Florida Law: A landlord must give a 7-Day Notice before filing an eviction for non-rent reasons.

There are two types of 7-Day Notices:

1. Notice with Opportunity to Cure. You can resolve the issue. Example: removing unauthorized pets, guests, or vehicles.
2. Notice with No Opportunity to Cure. You cannot resolve the issue. Example: destroying or damaging the property.

You can defend against eviction for these reasons:

• You never got the Notice
• The amount in the Notice was not right
• The Notice had incorrect dates
• Claims in the Notice never happened or are wrong
