If there is any question that the occupant is there under an agreement to purchase, i.e. the relationship of the parties may be buyer/seller instead of landlord tenant, then an evidentiary hearing needs to be held because c. 83 will not apply if it is not a landlord/tenant relationship. My understanding is that you cannot proceed with the eviction without resolving this issue. . <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Gioia DeCarlo, Esquire<br>DeCarlo & Valentine, LLC<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>828 N.W. 9th Court<br>Miami, Florida 33136<br>O. 305-324-9823<br>Efax 888-551-2980<br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br><br></span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org [mailto:landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Arlene C.

It seems that the circuit court case has a statute of frauds issue, and unless the lawyer took some action relying on the option to purchase, the case should be dismissed for failure to state a claim since there is no writing to enforce the option.
