Green v. Granot
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 25, 2002 · Gersten, Schwartz, Sorondo
827 So. 2d 1033; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 13930; 2002 WL 31114751 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Green v. Granot

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

GERSTEN and SORONDO, JJ., concur.

Dissenting Opinion

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge

(dissenting).

I believe that the Landlord-Tenant Act does not apply to this action and — even more obviously — does not do so as a matter of law, as the trial court held. See Freedman v. Geiger, 314 So.2d 189 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975); Pensacola Wine and Spirits Distillers, Inc. v. Gator Distributors, Inc., 448 So.2d 34 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984). Hence, I would reverse the default judgment entered below under section 83.60(2), Florida Statutes (2000), because the appellants did not pay the “rent” allegedly due into the registry of the court.
