Jacksonville Commercial Real Estate

Commercial Evictions in Northeast Florida: The Ultimate Guide


Listen Later


Ahh, the dreaded tenant eviction. The word itself – along with words like “notices”, “judgments”, and “sheriff” – is enough to strike fear into the heart of landlords.

So in this first episode with a purely local focus on commercial real estate, we bring in our region’s foremost expert in commercial evictions: attorney Meghan Edwards of Edwards & Edwards PA right here in Jacksonville. 

Meghan is a friend of the show who once helped Ian navigate 14 evictions in the span of a year (a story for another day), and today she easily handles just about every question a commercial landlord could have about the legal process of evicting a tenant from A to Z.

Meghan talks about: 

  • Whether you really need an attorney to evict 

  • Whether you should ever accept partial rent payment (her answer may surprise you)

  • Various lease violations and how each should be handled 

  • What types of actions “restart the clock” on evictions in Jacksonville

  • The dangers of circumventing the legal system (changing locks, etc.)

  • Typical timetables and what to avoid if you want a quick eviction

  • What to put in your lease to make evictions less painful later

  • And, locally: 

    • Why she loves living in Jax

    • Her favorite local restaurant, Marker 32

    • Her favorite local record shop: Soul Waves Vinyl
