Upon the lessee’s failure to timely deposit a monthly rental payment into the registry as required by court order 1 under section 83.232, Florida Statute, the petitioner — landlord was absolutely entitled to an ex parte, immediate default for a writ of possession of the premises by section 83.232(5), Florida Statute. 2 See Key Largo Watersports, Inc. v. Whitehurst Family P’ship, 954 So.2d 1278 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007); 214 Main St. Corp. v. Tanksley, 947 So.2d 490 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006); Courthouse Tower, Ltd. v. Manzini & Assoc., 683 So.2d 215 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996). See also Miami Subs Real Estate Corp. v. Manhattan House, Inc., 973 So.2d 593 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008)(per curiam). Because the trial court refused, after an adversarial hearing which was itself unauthorized, to issue the writ and, notwithstanding such wholly irrelevant facts as that the payment was subsequently tendered, see Main St. Corp., 947 So.2d at 492, we grant the present application for mandamus and order that a writ of possession issue forthwith. See Main St. Corp., 947 So.2d at 492; Courthouse Tower, Ltd, 683 So.2d at 215. See also Com *1169 coa, Inc. v. Coe, 587 So.2d 474 (Fla. 3d DCA1991).

Mandamus granted. 3
