[RPPTL LandTen] Eviction services

[Martin Lawyer]

And my point is that landlords who go "on the cheap" and don't hire an
attorney deserve what they get.

 

Although I have almost always represented tenants, my experience over the
40+ years is that landlords get in trouble when they are undercapitalized,
including failing to budget for attorneys (as well as failing to budget for
non-occupancy and major repairs).

The guy will get nothing but a slap on the wrist if that. The Bar is far
more concerned with the immigration UPL issues and probably rightly so.  His
eviction service is completely legal and is sanctioned by the Supreme Court.
He uses the Supreme Court Approved forms.  

 

The problem is that he takes the money and does not do the job in some
cases. Since he is not a lawyer, he is governed by no one and there are no
real ramifications other than possibly a Small Claims action against him
here and there. He is too small time for any criminal prosecution and by the
time the Bar did anything substantial to stop him, we will all be retired.

I'm not so sure I agree with Marty.  Many small residential landlords are
unsophisticated, so why should they doubt a service provider that advertises
that he will handle their evictions for them for a set fee?  That is nothing
more than attorneys do, and most people on the street wouldn't know what the
phrase "unlicensed practice of law" means.  So I really can't see my way to
blaming those folks in this situation (of course I speak in generalities
only - there may have been a few of his clients that knew this was a legal
shortcut but didn't care because they were saving a few bucks).

 

As to this shady service provider himself - he deserves everything he gets,
due to advertising what are illegal services.

But, to me, Harry, every fool who paid that guy got exactly what they
deserved.

What is it going to take to stop these scum from using the Supreme Court
Approved forms created and provided by the Florida BAR to harm the public?
