Time it takes to evict a tenant on a M to M agreement in FL

[Kenneth Davis]

Im facing my first potential eviction of a tenant who has near total disregard for my rental agreement. His most current violation is an unauthorized roommate that he moved in. He has threatened me that he has some sort of file on me after I told him I have a file in him. This renter here in Jacksonville Florida is on a month to month rental agreement. I am registered as an LLC which blocks me from evicting without a lawyer according to law. What cost am I looking at to evict this guy and how long can he drag this in court if he chooses to fight. He was forced to move from his last rental and I messed up by accepting this trouble maker. Lastly he threatened me that he would get the other tenant next door to move along with him if I raise the rent. Im sure he will refuse to pay any rental increase after being on my property for over several years with no rental increases.
