Self-help notice overview
A written Florida 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Deliver Possession helps document the landlord, tenant, premises address including county, rent demanded, statutory deadline, delivery details, and records to keep before any court filing.
Florida law, lease terms, federal requirements, rental-assistance facts, and local court practice can affect timing, delivery, and next steps. Review the state-specific page information and the completed notice carefully before serving it.
A notice is not a completed eviction judgment. If the tenant does not pay or deliver possession after proper notice, a landlord may still need to follow the Florida eviction court process before possession can change.

Quick answer
Use this Florida 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Deliver Possession when a residential tenant has not paid rent and you need the written demand required by Fla. Stat. § 83.56(3) before filing an eviction.
Fla. Stat. § 83.56(3) allows termination when rent is unpaid and the default continues for three days, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and court-observed legal holidays, after written demand for payment of rent or possession.
The statutory form calls for the rent sum owed, the premises address including county, a demand for payment or possession of the premises within three days, and the deadline. The landlord or authorized agent should also be clearly identified.
Florida courts can apply the § 83.56(3) notice form strictly, and notices that depart from the statutory language, miscount the deadline, omit the county, or combine rent with non-rent charges can be challenged or rejected. This notice is drafted to track the statutory form.

These notices are commonly used before ending a tenancy or starting the eviction process, especially for non-payment of rent, lease termination, or other landlord-tenant notice situations. The proper notice period and delivery method can vary by state and lease terms.
No. A notice is typically an early step before any court eviction filing. If the tenant does not comply after proper notice, the landlord may still need to follow the state court eviction process and local service requirements. In Florida, only a court judgment and a sheriff-executed writ of possession can actually remove a tenant.
