Frequently Asked Questions

How are rental collections handled?

Our collection policies are as follows:

• All rents are due on the 1st of each month and late on the 5th of each month.
• All residents who have not paid by the 5th of each month receive our first notice, a friendly reminder, placing them on notice. We also attempt to reach them by phone.
• Any remaining residents who have not remitted their rents by the 6th (or 7th, if the 6th is on a weekend) will be served between the 7th and the 9th by our private process servers with the legal prerequisite paperwork to file an eviction against them, should they fail to remit the rents due.

NOTE: Florida Property Central retains 100% of all late fees collected.

It is rare that an eviction is necessary, as we at Florida Property Central carefully screen all prospective tenants. Occasionally financial hardships do arise requiring our prompt collections attention.

All paperwork, including but not limited to copies of the lease and our notices served upon the resident are submitted to the County Court House on the 15th of the month, to proceed immediately in filing the eviction action. Most evictions are settled with the resident paying all costs and remaining in the property, however should it be necessary to proceed further we stand ready to assist you and your property. If upon employing our services, you have placed a tenant (not placed by our firm) who is delinquent and you require our assistance instituting evictions proceeding, then we charge a fee of $500.00 which includes court costs and legal fees for our services as outlined above and our time and court participation.
