Federal program overlay work, handled as a practice line rather than declined.
When a tenancy is subsidized, federal program rules sit on top of Florida law. Notice content, the applicable period, and required copies to the housing authority all change depending on the program involved. Satisfying Florida Statute 83.56 alone is not enough, and a notice that would be fine for a conventional tenancy can be fatal here.
Voucher tenancies carry program requirements alongside state law, including obligations regarding notice to the public housing authority.
Project-based tenancies carry their own notice content rules that differ from voucher matters.
Public housing tenancies are governed by an additional layer of program requirements on top of Florida procedure.
These tenants, and the legal-aid counsel available to them, do contest. That makes the notice the whole case. A firm that handles conventional evictions at volume has no reason to learn the program overlay, so the usual answer is a referral out. For a portfolio with any subsidized inventory, that is the moment your file stalls. This is handled here instead.
The uncontested HUD or subsidized-program eviction, priced as a flat fee.
Stated up front, before the work begins.
The program is confirmed before a notice issues, because the program determines the notice.
No. They overlay it. Florida's eviction statute still governs the court process, but the applicable program adds its own requirements for notice content, notice period, and who must receive a copy. Both sets of rules have to be satisfied.
Housing choice voucher tenancies, project-based Section 8, and public housing, along with other HUD program tenancies. Requirements differ by program, which is why the program is identified before any notice goes out.
Subsidized tenants frequently have legal-aid counsel available to them, and a defective notice is the most reliable defense there is. In these matters a notice defect is routinely fatal rather than merely inconvenient.
A flat fee of $1,750. If the matter becomes contested, that phase is billed at $350 per hour, and the rate is stated up front rather than disclosed after the fact.
A short call, no intake form. Tell us how many doors you manage, which counties, and how many files you typically run a year. If we are not the right fit we will say so.
