Renter has advised they will be abandoning our rental on or before 09/01/21, thus
defaulting on the following 4 months rental. This amounts to significant dollars.
I contacted Sumter County Sheriff Dept. they can't do anything without a court order.
Have now contacted 2 attorney firms close to TV, left voicemail asking if they handle
this type of case. Asked to reply either way, thus far no reply from either.
I am not going to just sit in a corner on this, letting the Renter get away with this.
Now in WI but will be flying to TV 09/02/21. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

My OPINION. First of all if you call the Florida bar association they can get you a list of attorneys who handle this type of issue.
I have considered it but I have never been a landlord. I am not an attorney. If, I understand it you had have a tenant. They have given you notice that they are breaking the signed lease. My OPINION based on experience, there is a difference between right and wrong AND LEGAL. They are not the same. An attorney will advise you.
I don't BELIEVE you have any chance of collecting the four months rent. Hopefully they will leave your property in reasonable condition. Perhaps, you can recover part of the loss of expected income by being prepared to restore the property-paint? Scrub? Etc? and rent it again.
Oh, and again I'm not an attorney. Due to COVID 19 or whatever the current excuse is, you will likely have trouble if you need to evict a renter.
Perhaps, a clear explanation why I have never been a landlord.
