Can a condominium association evict a tenant of an owner in Florida?

Generally, tenants are required to live in condominiums in the same way that owners are required to live there. Several steps must be in place, however, according to best practices, in order for an association to evict a tenant.

First, there must be evidence that the tenant has been given all the pertinent documents that outline how an owner lives in the property. Then, that the owner sent a copy of the lease with the tenant to the board, and prior to occupancy, cleared the prospective tenant's financial and background reports to the owner's satisfaction.

The association must have been involved in addressing any 'rules' violation against the tenant through the owner, that have not been satisfied by the tenant or the owner.

Finally, the association's records must show that the board has the power to evict a tenant, given an owner's inability to do so.
