count I and Count II

[lrning]

I need to evict a tenant, I just want to learn and everybody can learn together.
I admit that I know nothing about Count II.

Do we fill out the Complaint with Count I and Count II at the same time?
Can I just do Count I to remove the tenant first, then return to fill out just Count II?

Where can I find more information about fill out Count II stufff?

I'm a landlord and I must admit--what in the world is "Count I" and "Count II"?

Fill out your profile. We can not help you if we do not know your location. Eviction Law varies in cities/counties/states

I googled. Now I understand the Count I and Count II.

Count I is filing for eviction. Count II is for damages (ie back rent).

Not knowing what city/county/state you are located, I'm providing a sample of this link: http://www.hillsclerk.com/publicweb/landlord_evictions.aspx

Now, keep in mind, this link does NOT apply to you but gives you an idea of what a Florida county handles it.

I've been a landlord since 2000. I've come very close to filing for eviction recently but the situation has been resolved. Thank goodness for M2M! In other words, I've never had to evict any of my tenants. Now that I've said it, I'll be expecting Murphy's law to come my way.....:thumbdown

Debbie, so you do M2M? You prefer that way? I have 1-year leases on all my houses, except for one M2M. Things I'm seeing on this site lately lead me to think M2M is the way to go, and I'm beginning to feel the same way. I have had FOUR tenants break the 1-year lease because they've been relocated or bought a house or whatever. I think it's true that they're just going to move whenever they need or want to, even if it means they'll lose their deposit. I'd welcome your comments on M2M versus long-term leases. Thanks!
