[RPPTL LandTen] HB 6069

[Harry Heist]

Note line 26.

 

About 20 years ago or so, the law did not say "default judgment" and the law
was changed to clarify this.

 

This was to close a loophole where while there would be a default, it was
not clear that this would be a default judgment of eviction with writ to
follow.  Back then, some judges were setting hearings where there should not
have been one and this tightened that up.

 

The Florida Apartment Association was the main force behind cleaning that up
back then. 

 

The various legal services organizations in Florida have wanted this change
for years and would argue that the tenants were not given due process if
they were required to place money into the court registry saying that the
tenant was forced to "pay to play"

Good afternoon.  Attached for your consideration and comment is HB 6069
which was just introduced this week.  This bill seriously impacts how
evictions will proceed so I thought it would be a good idea to get comments
from all of you who practice in this area in advance of the Section taking a
position on this. 

 

Thank you.

 

Brenda
