Seller wasnt willing to give notice to her tenants to vacate by closing.

This is post is intended for 90 percent of the investors out there that bought a vacation rental in 2021 and 2022. 

If you are like so many empty nesters who would like to enjoy a vacation home which can double as an investment property (perhaps somewhere warm) there are plenty of Floridians here who can help! 

Looking at a vacation rental that has a rental restriction of 30 days minimum.  

I own and self manage two short term vacation rentals. 

I have already served the the notice  to vacate through the county Sheriff's office.

However, there is a reduced sales tax due on the rental of commercial office, warehouse, self-storage, vacation rentals, etc.

This is going to be unpopular with the STR crowd but I would absolutely NOT invest in the traditional vacation markets today.If you're hell-bent on going the STR route, find a metro area that has lax or no regulations currently. 

I've read Avery Carl's book on short term rentals and have been researching vacation areas in Washington.

One minor exception to the comment: not advisable to lose Section 8 funding which could result both an immediate lose of further rents and/or a squatting/eviction scenario.Next:1) In terms of the late rent payment(s) - consider a 3-Day Notice to "Cure or Quit". 2) If step 1) ineffective, consider the lease type - in many states if month-to-month the lessor has the right to submit "30-Day Notice to Vacate" without cause. 3) If step 2) is ineffective, an Unlawful Detainer (aka Eviction) could be pursued.
