• knows the law and will make the landlord follow it strictly.
• does not know that the tenants have been stiffing the landlord around for three or four months with late payments, short payments, lies, manipulation, and deceit.
• does not know how patient the landlord has been.
• does not know that the typical eviction lawsuit started festering three or four months before the suit was filed with the court.
• does not know that landlord has bent over backward trying to help the tenants.
• does not know that the tenants have repeatedly lied to the landlord about when the rent will be paid, when the tenant will receive his/her paycheck, and a whole host of other things.
• does not know that the tenants have been given second, third, and sometimes fourth chances to get caught up on the back rent.
• does not know that the landlord would rather not evict the tenants and thereafter have to deal with fixing the property up and re-renting it.
• does not see the case from the landlord’s perspective.  Many times, the judge will give the tenants yet another chance, not knowing how many prior chances the tenants have blown.  Make no mistake about it, the judge is not the landlord’s friend.
• will require the landlord’s court pleadings to be letter perfect.  The slightest imperfection or discrepancy could result in the landlord losing the eviction lawsuit.  By contrast, a tenant could file his/her response to the eviction lawsuit on toilet paper written out in crayon and thereafter be granted a court date that delays the eviction by weeks.
• is not the landlord’s friend.  This is why you need a lawyer for the Tampa eviction process.
