Opinion

SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ Case No. 6D2023-0132 Lower Tribunal No. 21-CC-2655 _____________________________

VANESSA MIKES, Appellant, v. HOUSING AUTHORITY of the CITY OF FORT MYERS, Appellee.

_____________________________ Appeal from the County Court for Lee County.

Josephine Gagliardi, Judge.

April 17, 2025 PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

STARGEL and SMITH, JJ., concur.

NARDELLA, J., dissents, with opinion.

_____________________________ NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF TIMELY FILED _____________________________ NARDELLA, J., dissenting, with opinion.

Vanessa Mikes (“Mikes”) appeals from a final judgment of eviction entered in favor of the Housing Authority of the City of Fort Myers (“Housing Authority”). Because I find the trial court erred in concluding that the Housing Authority provided Mikes with a written warning under section 83.56(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2021), I would reverse and remand for further proceedings.
