Quiet Title Action Most people who buy property at a tax deed auction or from the list of lands available do so for the purpose of making money. This is usually accomplished by leasing the property or selling the property for a profit. This discussion will focus on the latter.

Your successful bid at a tax deed auction will earn you a “Tax Deed” from the county in which the property is located. That Tax Deed entitles you to possession of the property but it does not provide you with marketable title. Marketable title a is title free from reasonable doubt or any sort of threat of litigation. The Statute of Limitation for a prior interest holder or owner to challenge your tax deed is four years. Therefore, title insurance companies will generally not issue a title insurance policy on a tax deed resale within the first four years after the tax deed sale date due to the potential threat of litigation. However, all hope of selling your property within the first four years is not lost. The completion of a Quiet Title Action will solve this dilemma.

A Quiet Title Action (QTA) is a lawsuit brought for the purpose of establishing your title to real property against anyone and everyone, and thus “quiet” any challenges or claims to the title. A quiet title action will remove clouds on the title so that you will have a marketable title and can freely convey your property for top dollar.

At Campione Law, we pride ourselves on our quick turnaround time. Our Quiet Title process takes approximately 8 -10 weeks for an uncontested action. We also boast the best prices in the industry and offer volume discounts for our frequent flyers. Call today for a free consultation.

Tenant Removal: For purposes of expediency and efficiently it is important to understand the proper action that should be filed to remove an unwanted person from your property. It is a case by case basis and will depend heavily upon the facts surrounding their habitation of your property.

Eviction: An eviction action is the most common removal action and is governed by Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes. Evictions only apply to situations where a landlord-tenant relationship exists. This is provided for by an oral or written agreement, to pay “rent” in some form. In the event the tenant fails to perform in accordance with the agreement, an eviction can be filed, seeking to remove the tenant. There are procedural pitfalls and statutory guidelines that if not followed could result in delay, or worse, your action being dismissed. Further, there are additional nuances that must be considered if you as the landlord are attempting to collect past due rent or damages.

Ejectment: These are often applicable in tax deed situations. When a person refuses to leave a certain premise and the refusal is predicated upon an assertion, whether frivolous or meritorious, that said person has some interest in the property that transcends mere “possession” an ejectment action is necessary. An ejectment action is governed by Chapter 66 of the Florida Statutes and is filed in circuit court. Ejectment actions are often costlier and slower than an eviction or unlawful detainer action, as summary procedure is not applicable and many judges are unfamiliar with the type of action.

Unlawful Detainer: An unlawful detainer action is very similar to an eviction but is used in situations where a landlord/tenant relationship does not exist. In essence, this cause of action applies to situations where friends, family members, significant others, or other persons are permitted to live at a premise, with no obligation to contribute monetarily or otherwise, and then refuse to leave once they have overstayed their welcome.

Two common examples:

A boyfriend or girlfriend living with one another in a property owned by one with no formal obligation of the other to cover household costs or rent decides to part ways. The non-owner party refuses to leave. Now what…… the owner must file a wrongful detainer action.

A family member or adult child lives with his/her parents or relatives. They have overstayed their welcome and now refuse the leave. Now what…… the parent or relative must file a wrongful detainer action.
