Governor DeSantis extended his previous executive order to October 1, 2020. Under Executive Order Number 20-211 landlords are allowed to serve three day notices and file evictions against non-paying tenants. However, writs of possession cannot be issued until after October 1, 2020.

Landlords are still able to file commercial evictions and residential evictions for other matters, including lease violations, holdover tenants, and termination of month to month tenancies. The courts are allowed to enter final judgments and issue writs of possession if the eviction proceeding is unrelated to nonpayment of rent.
