DeSantis Extends Florida Eviction Moratorium

July 30, 2020

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order Wednesday evening that extends the moratorium on evictions to 12:01 a.m. on September 1.

“I hereby suspend and toll any statute providing for final action at the conclusion of a mortgage foreclosure proceeding under Florida law solely when the proceeding arises from non-payment of mortgage by a single-family mortgagor adversely affected by the COVID-19 emergency,” DeSantis said in his order.

The action is intended to provide relief for thousands of Florida residents that remain unemployed or otherwise are suffering economically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The eviction moratorium first went into effect on April 2 during Florida’s economic shutdown. This was the fourth extension.

    Governor DeSantis, we Landlords VOTED you into office!

    We can vote you out!

    You are helping squatters, drug addicts and other predators that prey on property owners.

    If a family cannot pay their rent then the State should pay their rent for them!

    We, as property owners should not have to pay for someone else who refuses to work for minimum wage or even make an effort to pay their rent.

    We have to pay our mortgage! We cannot and should not pay for renter regardless of their problems!
