How to word 7 day notice to vacate?
I am a property manager. I was just informed by a resident that his child was exposed to the view of another resident’s genitals while he was urinating outside his apartment. He has had 3 warnings because of complaints that he was doing this. How would I word a 7 day notice to move based on this last instance?

In most states in this country at least thrity (30) days notice is required in writing by the landlord to terminate a tenant's lease, not seven (7) days written notice. I suggest you check up on Florida law to make sure you are required to give a thirty (30) day written notice to terminate the lease of the tenant you want out.
As far as forms needed to draft the notice, you can google Florida forms for a notice of termination of a tenancy in order to get a template for the notice that you desire to have served upon the tenant you want to end the lease with. The notice needs to be signed and dated by you and it is best if it is personally served upon the tenant you want out by a person over the age of eighteen (18) years of age.
The thirty (30) day time period begins running from the time service is made on the document, not its actual date.
Good luck.
