EVICTIONS: CAN A LANDLORD TURN OFF THE WATER OR CHANGE THE LOCKS BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING OUT WITHOUT PAYING THE LAST MONTHS RENT (USUING OUR DEPOSIT MONEY). TO BE FAIR, WE ARE BREAKING THE LEASE DUE TO MEDICAL REASONS. ALSO, IF HE STARTS EVICTION PROCESS, HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE IN MIAMI, FL BEFORE I WILL BE GIVEN THE ORDERS TO MOVE OUT. - Is this your question? Add additional information

The Landlord may not turn off the water. The Landlord may not change the locks without a writ of possession for the eviction. I can not tell you how long the eviction process will take, it could be a few weeks, it could be a few months. It depends upon court calendars, attorney schedules, etc.
