Eviction Service in Florida — Golden Process Service
Golden Process Service provides fast, compliant eviction service for landlords, property managers, and attorneys throughout Florida. From 3-day notices to eviction summons, we handle every stage of the eviction process with the urgency these time-sensitive cases demand.
Quick answer
Eviction service covers the statutory notice and, once the case is filed, the summons and complaint. Under Chapter 83 the notice period runs from proper delivery, so Golden Process Service posts or hand-delivers the notice, photographs the posting with a timestamp, and returns a signed affidavit.
Florida Eviction Service — From Notice to Summons
Evicting a tenant in Florida is a legal process with strict procedural requirements. Under Florida Statutes Chapter 83 — the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act — landlords must follow specific notice and filing requirements before a court will order a tenant to vacate. Cutting corners on service can result in delays, dismissals, and additional costs.
Golden Process Service has been helping Florida landlords, property management companies, and eviction attorneys navigate this process since 2018. Based at 9715 W Broward Blvd, Ste 322, Plantation, FL 33324, we handle eviction notices and summons across all 67 Florida counties with same-day service available in most metro areas.
Whether you manage a single rental property or a portfolio of hundreds of units, Golden Process Service provides the speed and compliance your eviction cases require. Every serve is documented with a sworn affidavit that meets Florida court standards.
Types of Eviction Notices We Serve
Florida law requires different types of notices depending on the grounds for eviction. Golden Process Service delivers all of them with proper documentation:
3-Day Notice to Pay or Vacate
The most common eviction notice in Florida. Served when a tenant fails to pay rent, this notice gives the tenant three business days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) to pay the full outstanding rent or vacate the premises. Under Florida Statute §83.56(3), the notice must state the specific amount due and cannot include fees beyond rent unless the lease specifically allows it. Golden Process Service ensures your 3-day notice is delivered and documented correctly.
7-Day Notice to Cure or Vacate
Served when a tenant violates a term of the lease other than nonpayment of rent — such as unauthorized pets, excessive noise, or unauthorized occupants. Under Florida Statute §83.56(2), the 7-day notice must identify the specific lease violation and give the tenant seven days to cure the violation. If the violation is not cured within seven days, the landlord may file for eviction.
15-Day Notice of Termination (Month-to-Month)
When a month-to-month tenancy is being terminated without cause, Florida Statute §83.57 requires at least 15 days' written notice before the end of the monthly period. Golden Process Service delivers 15-day termination notices with full documentation to support your case if the tenant refuses to vacate.
Eviction Summons
After the applicable notice period expires without compliance, the landlord files an eviction complaint with the county court. The resulting summons must be personally served on the tenant. Golden Process Service prioritizes eviction summons because time is critical — the tenant has only five business days to respond after service. We offer same-day and rush service for eviction summons.
Residential vs. Commercial Eviction Service
Residential Evictions
Residential evictions in Florida are governed by Part II of Chapter 83 (§83.40 – §83.683). These cases involve tenants in apartments, houses, condos, and other residential rental units. Residential tenants have specific statutory protections, and the eviction process must follow strict timelines. Golden Process Service handles thousands of residential eviction serves each year across Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and every other Florida county.
Common scenarios include nonpayment of rent, lease violations, holdover tenants, and lease expirations. No matter the circumstance, Golden Process Service delivers your notices and summons in compliance with Florida law.
Commercial Evictions
Commercial evictions are governed by Part I of Chapter 83 (§83.001 – §83.251) and involve tenants in office spaces, retail locations, warehouses, and other commercial properties. Commercial leases often contain different notice provisions than residential leases, and the statutory framework gives landlords slightly different rights and obligations.
Golden Process Service handles commercial eviction notice delivery and summons service with the same attention to compliance and documentation. If your commercial tenant has defaulted on rent or violated lease terms, call (888) 766-7497 to get the process started.
Eviction Notices Delivered Right the First Time

The Florida Eviction Process
Understanding the eviction timeline helps you plan and act decisively. Here is how the process works and where Golden Process Service fits in:
Step 1: Serve the Notice
The landlord or property manager must serve the appropriate notice (3-day, 7-day, or 15-day) on the tenant. Golden Process Service delivers these notices personally and provides a sworn affidavit documenting the delivery. Proper service of the notice is critical — if done incorrectly, the court may dismiss the eviction.
Step 2: File the Eviction Complaint
If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, the landlord files an eviction complaint and summons with the county court. Golden Process Service can assist with court filing if needed.
Step 3: Serve the Summons
The eviction summons must be personally served on the tenant by a licensed process server or the sheriff. Golden Process Service prioritizes eviction summons and offers same-day attempts in most Florida metro areas. Once served, the tenant has only five business days to file a response.
Step 4: Court Hearing & Judgment
If the tenant does not respond or loses at hearing, the court enters a judgment for possession. The clerk issues a Writ of Possession, which is executed by the sheriff. Golden Process Service can serve related documents throughout this process.

Eviction Service — What Sets Golden Process Service Apart
Golden Process Service has handled eviction service for Florida attorneys, paralegals and corporate legal departments since 2018. What separates competent eviction service from the kind that gets challenged is not speed — it is the affidavit. Ours names the date, time, address, method and person served, every time, because that document is the only part of this work a judge ever reads.
Service of process in Florida runs under Chapter 48, Florida Statutes, which sets out who may serve, how personal and substitute service work, and what a return has to state. Golden Process Service uses certified servers appointed in the circuits we work, and we are members of both FAPPS and NAPPS.
Every eviction service job is dispatched the same business day it arrives, tracked attempt by attempt, and covered by flat-rate pricing published on our rates page. If the party cannot be found, in-house skip tracing takes over before more of your budget goes into attempts.
