FLORIDA — Governor Ron Desantis has extended the Mortgage Foreclosure and Eviction Relief until October 1, 2020.
This time around the executive order provides a limited, one-month extension to Executive Order 20-180.
Changes from the Executive Order that remain in effect include:
- A property owner may initiate a mortgage foreclosure or eviction process in any situation allowed under existing Florida statutes. The Executive Order only halts the final action of certain foreclosures and evictions.
- The protections of halting final action for certain foreclosures and evictions are only for persons affected by the COVID-19 emergency. The Executive Order does not cover tenants whose lease expires or when non-payment occurs due to reasons other than the COVID-19 emergency.
- The Executive Order applies only to residential tenants, not to commercial evictions.
