NEW CDC ORDER HALTING EVICTIONS

SOUTH FLORIDA REAL ESTATE LANDLORD TENANT LAWYER

WHILE THE STATEWIDE EVICTION AND FORECLOSURE MORATORIUM ISSUED BY THE GOVERNOR ON REMOVAL AND EVICTIONS IN FLORIDA HAS BEEN LIFTED, A NEW ORDER THAT HALTS EVICTIONS IS NOW IN PLACE. THE CDC ISSUED AN ORDER IN OCTOBER 2020 THAT HALTS EVICTIONS BASED ON AMONG OTHER THINGS, “UNPAID RENT” THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2020. THERE ARE MANY EXCEPTIONS TO THE CDC ORDER, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE EVICTION IS FOR A VIOLATION OF THE LEASE OTHER THAN NON PAYMENT OF RENT OR THE LEASE HAS BEEN TERMINATED, THEN THE LANDLORD CAN PROCEED.

YET, WHAT MANY DO NOT KNOW, IS THAT THE MIAMI DADE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE HAS BEEN GIVEN A “POLICE ORDER” OF SORTS FROM THE MAYOR, THAT DOES NOT PERMIT THEM TO EXECUTE ANY WRIT FOR REMOVAL. SO REGARDLESS OF THE CDC ORDER AND ITS EXCEPTIONS, THE SHERIFF WILL NOT EXECUTE A WRIT.
