DeSantis Suspends Mortgage Foreclosures And Evictions For 45 Days
April 3, 2020
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order Thursday that suspends foreclosures and evictions for 45 days. The order does not relieve an individual’s obligation to make mortgage payments and rent payments.
DeSantis’ order suspends all statutes “providing for a mortgage foreclosure cause of action.” For evictions, the order only specifies tenants may not be removed for nonpayment, which seemed to indicate evictions for other reasons would be allowable.
“I,m not sure you’re going to rent out a lot of new places anyways, but you never know how people are going to act.” DeSantis said during a press conference.

How many people don’t have a job right now because their place of employment closed and they are worried about feeding their kids. I would hope landlords and mortgage companies could work with them on payments.
So how many people are going to not make payments thinking they just got a free pass on their rent or mortgage. Going to be interesting when this is over and people are held accountable for lack of payment.
