I am in Florida as well and had a similar issue myself about 6 years ago with a "tenant". They were living in my father's home "rent free" and when he died, they originally refused to move out. Long story short, it took about 2 months to get them out.

We had a family member not paying and not caring for a house. After going through Maryland court system following Maryland law we had to have a County Sheriff deputy come and order them out and we had to empty the house and put every thing on the curb. Long process.
I once was a landlord in MA. Took me over a year to get a deadbeat tenant out once. Never again. And they wonder why it is so difficult to find rentals.
Now I am in OK. Tenant doesn't pay? Takes a few days to get them out.
Update - I went to the Tenancy Tribunal and lodged the application for an urgent hearing to get her out early (and to force access to my own gd property)
Anyway the Gods smiled upon me and it's only taking a fortnight, I am attending next week.
I can't wait to hear what she has to say....how exactly she's expecting to defend herself.
By that point she will be nearly 7 weeks in arrears. At $410 per week, b(tch owes me thousands and counting.
Just go get a crate of those big ass spiders and dump them out on the porch or something.
Of course, once she leaves, then you'll have to get a few dingos (or whatever) to eat the spiders.
And then, kangaroos (or whatever) to deal with the dingos.
But then you'll be fine.

Reason: Try to work it so you end up with a bunch of koalas. Those things are cute & might enable you to get a premium on the rent.
Friends did a driveby yesterday to see if they were still in the house, not vanished into the night.
Yep, they're there. Overflowing bins and stolen shopping trolleys and all.
We did a hang up call on her too, she's a chirpy as a bird.
If I had 9 kids and an eviction notice, I'd be carping myself. Not this specimen. For some reason she thinks she's going to "win" at the Tribunal.
Bizarre...
Anyway once she's out, I'm moving back in. I've had nothing but problems being a landlord. One less nice house on the rental market, well done deadbeat.
You may add as well most of the European countries - in most of them tennants are kings! In France, by law, the minimum duration of an unfurnished lease is of 3 years! And - after these 3 years, you can not kick them out unless you sell the house or you decide to occupy it yourself. Otherwise, you're good to go for another 3 years!
Then, it takes about 2 years in Court to kick out a tennant who is not paying the rent - and if you try to get onto your property in the meantime the tennant can obtain a restriction order!! In most of the Central European countries you can not kick out someone during the 5 months of winter, or if they are over 65 years old, or if they are pregnant etc.
That's why nost of the owners ask for ridiculous guarantees when renting - and all lessees need to have at least one person solidarly guaranteeing they'll pay in your place if you don't. In the US this would be inimaginable but it became the norm in Europe.
