The landlord would have to go to the courthouse and pay around $125.00 to have eviction papers (legally) served on your son in the state of Florida.
Once the papers are served by the local Sherriffs department, your son would have a total of 3 days to vacate the premisses.
 After that, the Sherriffs Dept. Would arrive at the door and have them to move their belongings out at that time.
He may be able to seek free legal help in order to get an extension, through the Legal Aid Sociaty in his County.
Also, probably would qualify for extra financial help through The Department of Children and Families until he is back on his feet. The DCF will do  retroactive help for 90 days back pay, on prior loss of wages, from the time he first applies.
I said a prayer for your son and his family.
Hope this helps.

I realize this is a very old question as in date, but the answer is not correct. A three day notice doesn't mean squat....(not in florida).....more like three month notice if the tenant bothers to show for court and explain to the judge why they have fallen behind...............wishing all who fall on hard times "the best', wishing all the deadbeat tenants "would just get the h--- out" and not leave the place like a dumpster........
