Common eviction scenarios in Aventura
Snowbird tenant overstays the season
Many Aventura units rent on six-month seasonal leases. When the term ends and the tenant remains without a renewal, you serve a 15-Day Notice (Fla. Stat. § 83.57) terminating the resulting month-to-month tenancy, then file in Miami-Dade County Court if they don't vacate.
LLC-owned condo with absentee landlord
If the property is held by an LLC, Florida law requires a Florida-licensed attorney to file the eviction. Pro se filings by entities are dismissed. Plan to have a specialist file on your behalf.

Aventura-specific FAQ
Do I need HOA approval to evict a tenant in an Aventura condo?
No. Eviction is a court action between landlord and tenant, separate from your condo association. However, your HOA may require advance notice of legal action involving a unit, and most Aventura buildings require board approval for any new tenant after the eviction concludes.
My Aventura property is owned by an LLC. Can I still evict pro se?
No. Under Florida law, LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and trusts cannot represent themselves in court. They must be represented by a Florida-licensed attorney. Only individual landlords (sole owners) may file pro se.
How do I evict a snowbird tenant who only stays in Aventura part of the year?
If the seasonal lease has expired and the tenant is now month-to-month, serve a 15-Day Notice of Termination under Fla. Stat. § 83.57. If they don't vacate by the termination date, file an eviction complaint in Miami-Dade County Court. The 3-Day Notice for non-payment doesn't apply unless rent is also unpaid.
My tenant runs an unauthorized short-term rental (Airbnb) in my Aventura condo. What do I serve?
This is a curable lease violation under Fla. Stat. § 83.56(2)(b). Serve a 7-Day Notice of Noncompliance with Opportunity to Cure, describing the short-term-rental activity. If the tenant continues or repeats the violation within 12 months, you may proceed without a further opportunity to cure.
