[RPPTL LandTen] Recent 4th DCA Case on Appeals from Judgments of Eviction Pending Determination of Damages

[Manuel Farach]

Here’s a quick summary of the case:


A final order of possession in a landlord tenant action is not a “final order” if a claim for damages remains outstanding, and as a result, may not be appealed as a final order pursuant to Fla. Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130 (f). Moreover, Rule 9.130 (f) foes not prohibit the entry of default and final judgment for failure of a tenant to deposit monies into the registry of the pursuant to Fla. Stat. § 83.232.
