If the tenant has failed to pay rent when due, then provide the tenant with a three-day notice and otherwise follow the procedure set forth in Florida Statutes Section 83.56(3) and (4). Here is the link to this section of the Florida Statutes:

If the tenant fails to pay the rent as directed by the three-day notice, you can pursue eviction proceedings and/or discuss your options with a local attorney.
