Times are challenging for multifamily landlords with nonpaying tenants. Landlords depend on rent to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance, management fees, debt service, and other expenses related to the property. Government orders instituted as a result of COVID-19 upended the employment of many tenants in Florida as certain businesses were prohibited or restricted from operating. Unemployed tenants faced the possibility of eventual eviction for nonpayment of rent. In reaction to an anticipated increase in residential evictions, local measures to suspend evictions were adopted in March 2020 by some Florida counties, including Orange County and Miami-Dade County. On April 2, 2020, Florida’s governor entered an emergency order on a statewide basis, suspending residential evictions due to nonpayment of rent (the “Florida Order”).
