A Florida 3 Day Notice to Pay or Quit is the most common eviction notice in the state because it enforces the issue of unpaid rent. The purpose of this form is to notify the tenant of how much is past due and demand it be paid in full within 3 days (with some exclusions). The notice does not allow for partial payments, so if the rent is not paid, the landlord may terminate the tenancy and file a forcible entry and unlawful detainer action in the county civil court.
