State-mandated closures and other governmental regulations issued to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 are drastically impacting the real estate world. Day Pitney continues to evaluate the rapidly changing legal landscape in order to provide the most up-to-date information together with practical business counsel to our clients, advisors and partners.
These are truly unprecedented times, resulting in novel questions for all parties involved as they try to understand their respective rights and obligations. All parties will need to work collaboratively to come up with reasonable and practical solutions under their particular circumstances to provide what will ideally be short-term relief to preserve long-term objectives.
On August 31, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued executive order 20-211 further suspending foreclosures and residential evictions until October 1, 2020. The executive order extended executive order 20-180 until October 1, 2020. Executive order 20-180 solely relates to non-payment by the mortgagor or tenant. Executive order 20-211 also tolls the applicable statute of limitations until October 1, 2020. Executive order 20-180 previously amended the prior related orders by limiting to single family mortgagors and residential tenants adversely affected by the COVID-19 emergency, specifically pertaining to final action in an applicable foreclosure or eviction. Further details of the applicable orders can be found here: initial order 20-94, first extension order 20-121, second extension order 20-137, third extension order 20-159, fourth limited extension and amendment order 20-180, and fifth limited extension order 20-211.
Please stay safe and healthy. We all look forward to getting back to "business as usual" as soon as possible. In the meantime, Day Pitney is here to help you navigate these extraordinary circumstances.
