3-day Notice during Eviction Suspension

[Matt Leber]

I have been fortunate enough to collect 6 out of 7 rents in April, but I still have one tenant who has not paid and has decided to cut off all communication with my property manager. His lack of communication, in my opinion, is inexcusable. I have reached out to my property manager to post a 3-day notice, and have been told they cannot post notice due to the eviction suspension.

I immediately called B.S. on that response from PM, a 3-day is not the same thing as an eviction. In fact, it might be just the perfect way to get through to my unresponsive tenant. I’m happy to waive late fees or work out a payment plan, just can’t have the tenant stonewalling me.

Am I right? Is there anything in Florida, specifically Jacksonville, banning posting of 3-day notices? Is my PM wrong here?
