How We Help Seminole County Tenants
- Eviction defense — 3-day notices, 7-day notices, and unlawful detainer actions filed in Seminole County Court
- Security deposit recovery — under Florida law, your landlord must return your deposit or send a written itemized claim within 15–30 days of move-out (Fla. Stat. §83.49)
- Habitability violations — mold, pest infestation, broken heat or AC, or structural problems your landlord refuses to address
- Retaliatory eviction — if your landlord filed for eviction or raised your rent after you complained to code enforcement
- Lease termination — if your landlord's violations give you the legal right to end your lease early without penalty
Seminole County Court — We Know the Process
If your landlord files for eviction in Seminole County, the case is heard at the Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford. You will have 5 business days from the date you're served to respond. Missing that window can result in a default judgment — meaning you lose without a hearing.
Don't let a deadline catch you. Contact us as soon as you're served.
