Legal Legal News News by Kevin by Kevin Knight Knight Survey of Recent Trial Every now and then it’s good to “put your hand on the pulse” This article will examine several cases
(1.) Jaw Holdings v Hassock and Henry Broward County Where service of eviction complaint on tenants was made by substitute service on the person who was not co-resident or family member of tenants, there was no proper service and any judgment for possession was void. (2.) Perez v Rodriguez Miami-Dade County Even though fifteen-day notice to vacate met the requirements of Fla. Stat. Section 83.57(3), the notice was defective because it failed to comply with the county ordinance requirement of 30 days notice. (3.) Ramirez v Nunez Miami-Dade County Same holding as Perez above. (4.) Redwood Apartments v Gradys Polk County In a public housing lease, the landlord’s non-renewal notice that alleged damage caused by carelessness, misuse, or neglect on part of the tenant or tenant's family or visitors was not specific enough for the tenant to defend and didn’t provide the tenant with a meeting to discuss the notice. (5.) Downtown East Apartments v Baileys Duval County Tenants’ failure to deposit rent into court registry or file motion to determine the amount of rent meant that landlord was entitled to possession in a nonpayment eviction. The tenant mentioned that he was unemployed due to various “infections” but failed to name-check Covid.
