Sheehan v. Marshall
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 27, 1984 · Boardman, Danahy, Hobson
453 So. 2d 481; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 14199 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sheehan v. Marshall

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We have before us for review a final judgment entered by the Circuit Court for Sarasota County evicting the appellant from a mobile home park located in Charlotte County. We reverse because the Circuit Court of Sarasota County lacked subject matter jurisdiction to order the eviction of a residential tenant from premises located in another county. Such jurisdiction lies exclusively in the county court of the county where the premises are located. §§ 34.-011(2), 83.59 and 83.7594(4), Fla.Stat. (1983).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

HOBSON, A.C.J., and BOARDMAN and DANAHY, JJ., concur.
